Hi All,
I am mountain dweller on a well and am about to purchase an R/O system. A friend suggested two things:
1. I add a calcite filter to elevate the PH for drinking water
2. I upsize my R/O tank to about 30 gallons and run R/O water through my dishwasher (He also suggested I could run the dishwater through the calcite filter water to reduce acidity).
The few companies I have talked to about R/O systems thought this was completely unnecessary since I will also have a water softener. Of course this also "wastes" a lot more water. Any feedback on this would be appreciated.
Also, to install the R/O spout, I will need to drill a porcelain/ cast iron sink which worries me a bit. Is this a particularly difficult thing to do?
Thanks for your help!
