The way it works - rejecting 50% of water back into sewer - I think RO is not eco-friendly. Especially when it's unnecessary.
I used portable RO pump when there was no other choice, - in wilderness sea kayaking. There was (almost) no other way to make fresh water, and it was difficult to carry more than few gallons in a kayak. Would have never considered this expense, otherwise.
I don't understand the problem with carrying purified water in RV. At ambient below 80-85, a 5-gallon jar - used for drinking and cooking only - lasts me a week. If this all is just for dogs... Have a feeling they wouldn't care less, drinking water after sediment filter.
