The directions on the website were sparse. The part numbers in the manual didn’t match the part numbers on the website. All I need to filter is arsenic, my tap water is from aquifers and is pretty good otherwise, no sediment, rust, or other chemicals. So, I just bought three arsenic filters.
Don’t really need the arsenic filters, the water is just under the standard 10 pbb, but I figured why not? When the filter was new, I paid for a water test of before and after the filter. Before was 8.(something) and after was 0.5ish. So, it made a big difference.
No amount of arsenic is safe, like no amount of alcohol. Same idea, but with water. I’m sure arsenic, even at 8, won’t be the thing that kills me, but again, why not filter it since I can?
RO systems are great. Once you get on hard to go back
Whole house RO would be great. Not in the budget. Not even close.
Also, like I said, our water here is pretty good overall.
Whole house RO doesn’t really make sense. RO is very slow. It needs a reservoir to store the filtered water which depletes and replenishes in between uses. One shower would blow through a whole month’s supply of RO drinking water.
No need whatsoever to wash dishes or do laundry with RO water.
I guess I need to add “worry about arsenic” to the list.
Stay away from rice then!
It’s very sad to me, because I love rice!
If you’re on city water, they probably publish test results for your water on the city website.
Anything in the ground can wind up in your water supply. Fertilizer runoff from farms is a huge concern.
My city even publishes the data , and explain the common sources for our water.
Hell yeah, brother!
