There are only two of us in the house now, but together we use an average of
about one gallon of filtered water a day for cooking and drinking. We don't
use it for anything else.

I had a RO filter in our previous house, but when I moved I discoved I
could go to the store and get RO water for 25 cent per gallon and this was
cheaper for us than the maintenence costs and purchase price of a new
filter.

I've been using this Omnifilter Water filter that has 3 compartments and
takes 3 filters, and I've had it for 16 years, using high quality carbon
block filters. I also replace the filters every 6 months. Water
quality is not that good in my area, so it's a necessity.

I've been thinking of replacing the whole thing with a new RO filter.
The thing that concerns me, is the size of the tank, and since it is
only about 4 gallons, do you RO filter users run out of water?

4 gallons seems like a lot of water to use in a kitchen cooking
situation at any one time, but I guess it is possible I could empty out
a tank and then have to wait hours for more filtered water.

Do you find this to be a problem?

Any other things or problems that I'm not considering, that would make
you steer me away from this kind of filter?

Any brands substantially better than another?


Thanks,

Steve
