Get on ebay and shop for Reverse Osmosis

Many adds have good information
and there is a wide selection of prices.

If you can afford it, get a good one.

I got mine from a Hong Kong dealer,
quite cheap, it works.

Shipping took a while,
but it made it.

Earl,

How much waste water do you get with that unit? I'm on a well and don't want to dump 4 gallons to get 1.

The waste is 2:1

You will need as many extra pre-filters
as you can afford,
to get the full life from your machine.

Change your pre-filters reularly.

Good luck with your grow,

I know your plants will like having the RO

I just ordered this one: Countertop Portable Reverse Osmosis 100-150 GPD - Great RV's and traveling.

It should be here in a few days. I specifically wanted a portable unit. The one I bought does say it wastes 4 to 5 gallons of water to make one.... which is bad....but I'm only growing a few plants and I'm pretty conservative with my water usage so hopefully it won't be too bad.

I can't wait to see how my plants grow on good water..... my tap water is 500 PPM right out of the faucet :shock:

My unit has a back flush feature,
so I can extend the life of my membrane.

I have done 4 grows with this set,
I am going to start with new filters on my next grow,
just because.....

Earl has a good one and the link that FLORIDA GIRL posted is good, and easy as pie to set up-----connects to your sink faucet and drains down the garbage disposal-------easy ----puts out 10,000,00 gallons of clean water before it needs filter replacement.-----it's portable to.

as convenient as these units are, I don't want to waste more water than I use.

I'll continue to buy my RO down the street ($2.99/18L 5G).
