Anyone ever install an R.O. in their RV?
Due to poor water quality in our area (well most areas) we have an under the sink RO in the stix and brix. Currently our trips are confined to a week here and there and we get by with a 5 gal jug fil...

Excellent point on the rejection/waste water and one of my biggest concerns. I thought about running a valve to be able to change the rejection water to the FW tank or dump on the ground but that would require diligent monitoring so the FW doesn't overfill. A re-circulation pump would be power draw difficult to measure and control.
myself, I would go with something like this or you could just get the genaric filter housings like I did and build your own set up. I went with 4 stages but two are just carbon blocks

I would not buy anything from this company. They do not even tell us what is in each filter except for the 0.2-micron filter. The unit is extremely overpriced.
A deionizer cartridge and carbon filter would fit in 1/3 of the space. The 0.2-micron filter is a nice feature but may cut down considerably the flow rate. No mention of volume or flowrate information, or how long the cartridges last, We would have to be crazy to purchase this unit.

not the spicific company, and like I said you could buy the genaric filter housings and addemble it your self using off the shelf filters for about 1/3rd the price of that.
it's the style I am talking about, 3 or 4 stage filtration. and if you have a lick of salt in what your doing a 0.2 micron wont slow the flow down at all, and is actualy very important or your carbon blocks won't last long at all. you can add a deionizing cartrage as one of your filters but for drinking water your throwing a bit of cash out the window for trace salt removal, the carbon block and 0.2 micron are the two impirtant ones but ya deioniziing filters won't hurt. I used to run them after my RO membranes as I wanted to make ultra pure water
I'll check it out. Thanks!
