There are only two of us in the house now, but together we use an

use it for anything else.

I had a RO filter in our previous house, but when I moved 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



Hi,
You need ~2 liter of water daily per person to stay healthy.
A Gallon for two persons to drink and cook?
I have hard time understanding your water consumption.
IMHO, it is too little.
