While I've run RO water through soft copper for going-on 20 years (plus however long it had been there before we bought the house, PO also had an RO system) and never had a leak. When we replaced th

How much do you care if the tile cracks ? In the house, I would drill the tile; but in the garage I wouldn't care if it cracks, so just shoot the nail. Randall ______________________________________

My apologies, Karl ... I did not mean to imply otherwise. It's certainly a very common myth, and might even be true in some cases, depending on the exact definition of "over time", "eat away" and "c

Is there any good reason to believe it's better than what they had 40 years ago ? My attic has some 40 year old cellulose, and it's pretty nasty. Doubt it's doing anything for insulation either, sin

Well (pun intended), that's certainly the place to start. Many well systems are designed for lower pressure than one normally sees with municipal systems, so your low pressure may be normal. It's al

Well, at least a lot less often. RO systems typically have a bladder tank though, and most of them need recharging every 3-5 years in my experience. And when I helped a friend recharge his house tan

IMO, if the flow of a single faucet dropped the pressure by 45 psi, you have something else going on besides 700' of 3/4" pipe. This chart says even 4.8 gpm (which is a big faucet) should only drop
