Ray,
There was the guy that used to frequent out ng, he was a RO water man.
He also used to advertise in the Orchids Bulletin way back.
He was very helpful with me but his name escapes me, he would definitely
steer you right.
Cheers Wendy

I am thinking about adding RO systems and components to my product line, as
it looks like I can get top quality components and still offer better
prices than I typically see on the retail front. I believe I can offer 50
or 60 gpd systems for about the same price or better than most retailers
offer 25 gpd systems. I probably wouldn't offer anything smaller, as the
cost differential is minimal, larger-capacity systems refill quicker, and
there's nothing that says you have to use the entire capacity!

The concept is to offer replacement components, as well as complete
systems, but it's the definition of "complete" that's the sticking point,
as I don't want to have to carry too many components.

The "standard" 4-stage unit on the market consists of a saddle valve to
tap into an exiting water line, a sediment prefilter, carbon prefilter to
remove chlorine and organic compounds, membrane with outlet flow
restrictor, drain saddle for the flush water, auto shutoff valve, a 3- or
4-gallon pressure tank (that's the maximum amount of instantly-available
water), and a faucet. Typically they are installed under a sink, with the
faucet installed in one of the holes next to your normal faucet.

My own system does not use the tank or faucet, as I store the water in a
large tank instead. Do you think it's work including them in my own
standard system?
