How do RO units work, I dont mean how they get rid of chemicals, I mean how do I use one?

You plumb your choise of RO unit in with the supplied fittings & turn on. You discard the first gallon, after that you use whatever it produces. It's a good idea to plum the waste line into a storage bucket to water your garden etc. as , depending on your water pressure, to produce 1 gallon of water it wastes 4.

If you want a real good one look here, it comes with fittings so you can use the water for drinking too.

Mine is similar to the second one & you will not look back after buying one!!

To use the water in a FW tank however you have to use 'RO right' to remineralise the water.

hmmmmmmmmm I don't really like the idea of DIY and my parents wouldn't allow it ( I'm 14 you see), and I have been told RO water isn't necessary, is this true?

The other way of running a RO Unit if you aint keen on DIYing it is simply place the unit in the bath & hook the intake up to the coldwater tap (using a Hozlock adaptor) , when you are done simply disconect the whole thing & remove


IMO RO is definatly a must

what does that last sentence mean?

I have heard you cannot diconnect an RO unit and then re-use when you want to, is this a load of lies?

Thanks for all the help

Hi...an RO unit can be 'portable'. That is how I have mine. You can buy a faucet or garden hose adapter. Mine is in the garage. I make RO water once every two weeks. In summer, I connect it to the garden hose and in winter I hook it up indoors since I didn't want to plumb it into my kitchen sink. SH
