Maggie’s Reverse osmosis system

[hermosabeach]

I'm looking at adding / buying a reverse osmosis system.

I found a GE and the reviews are good but it seems like the filters and membrane are way overpriced.

Do you have an RO system? Any brands or models I should look at and consider?

I have an everpure filter that is good but the Solids are still high and my ice maker is having issues


Any tips, tricks, links and feedback is appreciated

I've been using one from iSpring for probably 8 years or so. I've been happy so far. I change the membrane every couple of years and the filters about every 18 months. I have the RCC7AK-UV.

We have a "Waterite Vectapure" system, that is 75g a day. Works great, and since we pay high rates for water here, we have the 'excess' fill the washing machine. Absolutely makes a difference, and with the polishing filter (cartridge?) on it, the water here is far better than the city supplies.

Thank you for the idea.

Ive been using a culligan for 15 years. Just for drinking and cooking, not whole house. I have well water going to a sediment filter, then a Sulphur clear, then a softener. So its pretty good water going to the RO.

I think the system will produce 3 to 5 gallons per day which seems plenty for a family of 4. The filters aren't cheap, but they're not so high I have to look for generic.

A relative has their old RO plumbed out of the home to fill a decent sized above ground fish pond.

The pond is also used to water other plants.

They got one from costco that has long since been discontinued

Shop your filters. There's a filter outfit in NC that's cheap. R O systems use about 3-5 gallons to flush the membrane for every gallon filtered.
