I'm collecting information about RO/DI units for a future purchase, and would like to know your thoughts about:
- what is the best, good enough and, possibly, unit to avoid,
- what will be amount of electricity - and water - used in the process, how it will raise the hydro and water bill: twice, trice? Say, for producing 60 gal/month.
- what parts should be replaced regularly (membranes, carbon, whatever else), frequency of their replacement and their cost.
Last, but not least, do you know examples of placement of the collecting vessel in the the really small places?
As I understand, the unit should be near water pipe, in the bathroom (laundry corner is too cold, exposed to outdoors), water pipe should be punctured, and purified water should be collected in the largest vessel (trashcan or plastic barrel) if such amounts of water are required.
In my case, there are barely passing the building code passages between bath tub, toilet and very small vanity with sink. I wonder how other people solve this problem?
Can you help?
Thanks.
