fuck it....beats 600 plus
Not all us yuppies in our condos have room under our sink for a big "Survior type" clean water steam distillation plant run that's run off solar power.
Good pointJust concentrate on keeping the membrane in tip top shape..replaced regular blah blah blah. It is only a notch or two below steam distillation when the membrane is fairly new. Used to drink coffee with one of the fellas who invented RO. Very smart feller.

I am in the same boat as you, I am in a apartment complex, not alot of room lol, how hard are they to install..Not all us yuppies in our condos have room under our sink for a big "Survior type" clean water steam distillation plant run that's run off solar power.
I don't think you should replace your drinking water with RO water. There are studies suggesting drinking RO water is not equivalent to drinking regular tap or drinking water.
A quick Google search will reveal some discussion so you can weigh the evidence yourself.
Sorry I wasn't clear - the safety concern wasn't over not filtering enough - it was filtering too much. While RO is great for filtering (i use it) it also filters good as well as bad and the site i had mind was recommending vitamin use to make up for the lack. Sorry i didn't bookmark it.
I'm sure it's nothing to be overly concerned with though - just thought i'd mention it in case someone knew more about it one way or the other.
Oh no, I got what those sites were saying. That perfectly pure water was bad. It doesn't make any sense to me is all, lol.
What are my options? I drink shitty well water with Lord knows what in there, I continue buying purified RO water, I make my own RO water with nothing bad in it, or I buy one of these magical "water ionizers".

"Purified water is an active absorber and when it comes into contact with air, it absorbs carbon dioxide, making it acidic. The more purified water a person drinks, the higher the body acidity becomes. "Purified" water, being essentially mineral-free, is very aggressive, in that it tends to dissolve substances with which it is in contact. Notably, carbon dioxide from the air is rapidly absorbed, making the water acidic and even more aggressive. Many metals are dissolved by purified water."
the ppms of my tap water is lower than the water i buy from the store....
aint that a bitch.
