  • I started with a cheap kit from a company that no longer exists. Over the last 15 years I have added and upgraded parts. I would say buy what you can afford and then upgrade as you go. The uv and remineralizers are nice to have but not needed. Just be sure to get a 5 stage to start. 3 stage pre filters plus membrane and charcoal. Another good upgrade is a permeate pump, it boosts the efficiency and saves water on the waste. I have my waste water fed out to water my garden in the summer.

    I once even tried to add a Deionization filter before the minerals that way it was almost 0ppm tds before adding back the minerals but it seemed to destroy my mineral cart and made my water smell fishy.

    I am not an expert just a homeowner with 15 years of filtering my own water.







  • The New Colossus

    Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. “Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

    Emma Lazarus November 2, 1883
