NICE!
Biggest issue we face in Hedland is the water is semi-hard so RO, while producing the cleanest water, does take a massive amount of time, but its the wastage that is the real killer! I have heard that the RO systems do 1:1 RATION (you get one liter and the drainage gets one liter) and thats the best you can hope for. A maintenance friend never knew this, telling me that he will NEVER buy bottled water ... until his Laundry reno where he removed the RO unit and did it by extension while the work was going on. After a year he would get one later of water and the waste would fill up a 9L bucket...
He ripped it out and then bought direct from Coles. Not a win for me and our business, but that put me off RO... Must do Maintenance
and it depends of your input water!
