brane, then the post (carbon) filter and mine makes about 2.5 gallons per hour. I get my filters from Pure
Water Products, and these guys will set you up with a garden hose attachment free for the asking. I use
their “Style A” countertop R/O Filter. I replace the pre filter once every 6 months, and the post filter once
per year. The R/O membrane filter lasts for 3 years or so.
This carbon filtering unit removes chloramine among other things
REV'S TIP
Here's the link to Pure Water Products' website: their shipping is free in the
USA: http://www.pwgazette.com/ I use the Style A countertop Reverse Osmosis Machine, with a
free garden hose attachment. I also use their carbon filters, which are designed to remove chlorine/
chloramine from 20,000 gallons of water, and they're about $20.00 USD each.
Here are a few great tips about using reverse osmosis units in order to get the most out of them for the
longest time. First, get a TDS meter to see when you actually need to change your R/O membrane. Also
see “Softened Water” in the Troubleshooting section of this topic. I would also always recommend using
some kind of sediment filter before the R/O unit. If your water is “hard” and above, say, 150 PPM on a
TDS meter, then you can install a water softening unit to make your R/O Unit last much longer. NEVER
use straight softened water on your plants; it will kill them!
