(There is a large group of petroleum storage tanks that are leeching into the ground water.....they SAY it's not enough to be a problem....but my tap water smells like petroleum and I won't drink it.)
I pack jugs with RO filtered water or get water from the bulk filtered at Walmart....The Walmart water is also RO filtered water....tastes pretty good to me.
I understand your concerns with the ground water possibly being contaminated but you might want to rethink using RO water for drinking.
*RO water, in general, does not hydrate the body well.
*A residue from the plastic membrane seems to find its way into the water, and then into the body.
*Reverse osmosis water is severely mineral deficient and has an acidic pH.
*Can cause leeching of minerals from the body
*Possible kidney failure
RO units are great for making 'pure water' (we used them to make water for our high pressure boilers) because it strips the water completely.
The body needs to be hydrated and have minerals replenished.
I agree with your concern that all minerals are removed from RO water......hadn't heard about anything leeching from the RO filter....Will do some research on that.
I add a some trace minerals back to the water. Either these
