I've been reading up on these systems a little bit today. It seems that a
reverse osmosis system generates a good deal of waste water compared to the
clean water you actually get. It has to do with the process itself.
Something about generating the pressure against the regular osmosis that
wants to happen so it will work to clean the water of impurities and keep
the salt out of the water. Anyways, water around here is kinda expensive.
I'd have to do some research on systems and prices in the immediate area
here, but do you guys see higher water usage because of the RO system?
Ideally, I would like a whole house system, not just a faucet or two. I
don't like washing my clothes or standing under the water in the shower
either. We were spoiled in Toledo for water prices. Toledo sat on Lake
Erie, and that's where the intake was. Consequently, water was cheap.
Ain't so here.
