Like comparing a HiPoint to a Wilson Combat.Prior through the Berkey, I was using a Brita-style filtering pitcher - what a joke. It's not even in the same league as the Berkey.
Curiosity has me asking, do you remineralize the RO water prior to drinking?My water hits a three stage filter system and then goes into the softener. Drinking water at kitchen sink and refrigerator then goes through the RO system. Everything is in the garage.
I also keep a high volume katahdan filter in the storage closet in case we have to filter pond water…good for 25K gallons.
I'm curious why everyone goes to filters? There's counter-top distillers available now. This thing should make water that's just as clean as RO, but there's no filters to change. As long as you don't let the tank run completely dry, it should be easy to keep clean, too.

We buy RO water from a local shop here in Bryan. Killer water as to purity and taste but my wife and I were reading about adding back in some trace minerals. Not sure yet. I did find that the WHO recommends not drinking it and says tap water is a better health option. They allege that drinking RO is actually bad for you.

That's a fair point. Heat of vaporization for a gallon of water is about 2.37kwh, so it'd be about 33¢ a gallon at current rates. About the same price as buying RO from the water place.Distillers suck electricity like there's no tomorrow.

I wonder what the cost per gallon on the small RO systems are. I'm assuming our water would kill those filters pretty quick.
Nice thing about the distiller is I could run duck pond water through it...
At least for my dog with renal issues, I need an extremely low TDS.what is really NEEDED

I know a low TDS doesn't really mean anything for drinking water, but I got to wonder since it makes such a noticeable difference with her what is it doing to us? I know that when I drink our tap water I still feel thirsty afterwards
