Where should we install an RO system in our new home
Q. We are currently building a new house and have decided to install a reverse osmosis drinking water system. Should we install a system under our kitchen sink and hook it up to the icemaker. What if we want to put one more 1 at our wet bar or in the master bath? Does that make sense? - Signed Bill K.
A. Reverse osmosis systems are rapidly becoming much more commonplace in new homes. With that in mind, let's contemplate what your finest course of action may well be. Very first of all, reverse osmosis ("RO") systems consist of the following components:
* 1, 2 or three Pre-Filters (just before the membrane)
* The Reverse Osmosis Membrane
* A Post "Polishing" Filter
* A Storage Tank
* A Faucet
The water is usually filtered with a 5-micron sediment pre-filter and is next filtered by a carbon block or granular activated carbon (GAC) filter (or both), just before it really is processed by the reverse osmosis membrane (the pollutants are literally separated from the water by the membrane and flushed down the drain).
Next, the clean water is sent to a storage tank (typically 2-4 gallons in size) where it's available for use. Whenever water is known as for, it passes by means of a post-filter of GAC to remove any unwanted tastes and is polished to an even higher high quality. Most systems are also equipped with an automatic shut-off valve (ASOV), which stops the flow of water to the drain, when the tank is full.
In times past, most RO systems were rated at 12 to 50 gallons per day. That simply means that if it ran continuously for 24 hours it would produce that amount of water. However, in the Midwest where water temperatures are lower than 77 degrees Fahrenheit; the production is about half the rated capacity of the system. Today, many homeowners are opting to connect their kitchen sink, vegetable sink, pot filler, wet bar, multiple ice-makers and the master bath to the RO system. This necessitates the usage of higher capacity RO systems (75 to 300 GPD) along with larger storage tanks and delivery pumps, which boost the pressure. During the construction of a new home, RO lines can easily be installed to any number of fictures. These lines are constructed of special poly-tubing, designed for high purity water and approved by NSF. The are typically 3/8? in size, 1/2? is sometime used. A manifold can be used to provide multiple connections ans total control for the system, if multiple outlets are utilized.
During the framing of the home, it is a simple matter to install the RO lines; much like computer, cable TV or telephone cable is ran inside the walls. In the scheme of things, the cost to run the RO lines during construction is very insignificant, but once the wall is dry-walled and finished, it may be difficult, if not impossible to install a reverse osmosis purification system.

Reverse osmosis water filteration system.?
I was just wondering if this reverse osmosis system was a good one that will actually work. http://cgi.ebay.com/100-GPD-Reverse-Osmosis-Home-Water-Filter-FREE-SHIPPING_W0QQitemZ220253946847QQihZ012QQcategoryZ20684QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Answer:
I could not tell the brand name of that filter. If you can confirm that the filter is certified by NSF, then it should be okay. NSF test and certify water filters to ensure that they can do the jobs the manufacturers claim they can do.
If it's not certified either by NSF or Water Quality Association, I will not buy it even if it's cheap.
