  • I have a Watts RO system. It’s been working without issue for 15 years now. What I like about it is it’s not really a “Watts” but rather Watts is like a PC brand made up of interchangeable parts. Everything is standard based on hose diameter. You can add or change whatever you want at any time from any other brand as long as it uses the same diameter quick connect tubes. Last year I added a remineralization that wasn’t part of the original system.

    If the basement under the kitchen is unfinished, install the system high up on the wall under the kitchen. (High up to minimize head loss) Maintenance becomes trivial when you have room to work on it. The previous owner had it installed under the sink. We didn’t realize it when buying the house but because it was tucked at the back under the sink, it had been leaking for years. Half the kitchen needed to be gutted and rebuilt because of mold.


  • The amount was fixed by the contract you signed. You knew what the tax credit was going to be because the salesman likely highlighted it as part of the sale. If you did it yourself, you’d have an every more detailed knowledge of the costs and timeline. Unless it was finished in December, you could have adjusted your withholdings.

    I’ve done everything from $100 repairs on my house, $80k renovations, to multi million dollar business deals. Even the bat specialist who moved the bats out of my front required a contract.

    It is completely absurd that you had an extremely unique tax situation ( tax credits on a project ending in December so no withholding adjustments could be made) yet your first post was authoritative general tax advice without mentioning it was specific to your condition. Then you had the nerve to call me out for giving general advice.
