Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First off, you should know that anyone with some fundemental knowledge of water treatment can make one of these in their garage from catalog parts. That's exactly what this unit looks like, too. I bought it because it was cheap, but a week later I saw a better system advertised at the local home center for $20 less.
The unit I received came with a faucet adaptor. That's right, just one adaptor and it didn't fit anything in my house, so before I could use the unit I had to go to the store and get a part to mate the RO unit to a faucet. Once that was accomplished, I was able to make RO water right away, and the best I can tell, the unit works properly. It does, however, have a terrible rejection rate; something in the range of 10:1 reject to product water. This is much to high for city water, even on a bad day. This is probably because the city water pressure is too low, but there is no way to tell. There is no information in the instruction regarding pressure requirements.
Part of the problem with the unit is the instuctions are nearly worthless. They look like a third generation copy spit out of a copier in need of a good cleaning. There is nothing in the instructions about the minimum or maximum operating pressure, nothing about recovery rate, no troubleshooting guidance and the print is blurry. Unless you have a good idea what your doing already, you might want to try somebody else's product.
The good news is that the unit is truely portable and requires no power whatsoever to operate. You could probably use it on a camping trip if you had a hand pump or some other way to develope enough pressure to operate the unit. It is compact, but the tubing array just hangs loose with no provisions for storage or detaching, making it somewhat difficult to store neatly. Overall, not a very well thought out product, and more expensive than it should be.
