The directions on the website were sparse. The part numbers in the manual didn’t match the part numbers on the website. All I need to filter is arsenic, my tap water is from aquifers and is pretty good otherwise, no sediment, rust, or other chemicals. So, I just bought three arsenic filters.
Don’t really need the arsenic filters, the water is just under the standard 10 pbb, but I figured why not? When the filter was new, I paid for a water test of before and after the filter. Before was 8.(something) and after was 0.5ish. So, it made a big difference.
No amount of arsenic is safe, like no amount of alcohol. Same idea, but with water. I’m sure arsenic, even at 8, won’t be the thing that kills me, but again, why not filter it since I can?
RO systems are great. Once you get on hard to go back
Whole house RO would be great. Not in the budget. Not even close.
Also, like I said, our water here is pretty good overall.
Whole house RO doesn’t really make sense. RO is very slow. It needs a reservoir to store the filtered water which depletes and replenishes in between uses. One shower would blow through a whole month’s supply of RO drinking water.
No need whatsoever to wash dishes or do laundry with RO water.
RO also puts about 3-4 gallons of wastewater down the drain for every gallon of filtered water it produces, which is usually acceptable for drinking water quantities, but would be extremely wasteful for bathing and laundry.
What a waste of potable water.
