If one was to use a reverse osmosis system A LOT. What would be the best way to reduce the damage/wear on the well water system. I guess a better way to put it is, how would a proper water system be designed?
How many gallons of RO water are you looking to produce per hour or day?I hear that. I wonder if I can get two RO units, a CSV, and a large well tank to slow the cycling. I guess you can't really do it without wearing out a pressure tank.
I don't follow that sentence.Not every day, day after day.
I have read that high pressure is better but have always wondered about softening the incoming water. Why exactly is the softened water an advantage?
I think it is because the calcium and magnesium are what gum up the membrane. There are a lot of recommendations for running softened water to your RO unit. A search engine search should turn up many. Here is one: http://www.watertechonline.com/the-effects-of-hard-water-on-reverse-osmosis-filtration-systems/
Is it fair to say that the RO system will be pulling about 12.5 gallons in most of the busy hours spread out to be about 0.21 gallons per minute? In other words, the RO system is working full blast for long periods. A CSV does not match up well with such usage.
It would cost some good money this way but fiberglass pressure tanks can be used for storing more RO water, it works for houses but 300gal storage is alot. I would like to see what you come up with that doesn't cost an arm & leg.

This is awkward, but...
