What does Rob Allen think of your system?

I rember talking to Lance a few years back in Vegas about the RO
system but was amazed by the amount of waste water produced in the
process. Please correct me if I'm wrong but it was something like 3
gallons of waste to every gallon of purifed water???????
I just can't justify that amount of waste!!!

Demien

huh???

where's that "waste" water go?
and why???


..L.T.A.

It is a filter process, there is going to be waste... its not that much waste... but it IS waste (high in mineral) water... where does it go?, evaporation... if it makes it to a storm drain, it goes thru the local treatment facility. and back to the faucets it came from.

The Pure Rinse R/O systems use a 3 step R/O to minimize waste... depending on what the TDS is coming from a source, and also what makes up that TDS, will determine the amount of waste produced. In my area, we have some of the worst water in the country, and my system averages a little better than a gallon of good water, to a gallon of waste water. The water is (in most cases) so pure, I can use it do to "spot free" waterfed pole window cleaning... without D.I. (a tds reading under 010 will usually show visibly spot free on glass)

What does Rob Allen think of your system?

He says he was/is impressed by it... when he saw it at connections. He doesnt own one to my knowledge...
