:I picked up a Spectrapure 50 gallon a day R/O system for just under 200.00.
I
:purchased a splitter to take water from the cold water outlet under my sink
for
:about 5.00. You get a kit for the waste water line with the system. Just
drill a
:hole in your drain pipe and install kit, maybe 5 minutes work Ideally the
system
:expells 3 to 5 gallons of waste water per gallon of R/O water. If you have
:africans you don't have to pour the waste water down the drain. What
expells as
:waste will be much harder and probably more alkaline than from the tap.
:Execellent for africans. I use 5 gallon drinking water bottles that come
from the
:store to store the water in untill I get some big rubber trash cans. Hope
this
:helps.
