Since there have been a few requests for information about RO systems
on the list recently, I thought it might be a good time to contribute
a fairly large list of WWW links I compiled recently for RO systems,
water distillers, and other water purification information.
I did a fairly exhaustive search on Yahoo, Webcrawler, Altavista,
Lycos, and Excite using the keywords "Reverse Osmosis", "Water
Distiller", and variations of these, and came up with about 42
good links. This is not to say that these are the only vendors
aroud - they're just the ones that show up on the Internet.
There are also some links to TDS (total dissolved solids) meters
sold by Fisher Scientific, as well as a few water quality magazines,
associations, and FAQs.
I was looking for an RO system myself, and in the end decided that
it would be much more inexpensive and convenient to buy a small
water distiller, which gives purer water anyway (over 99% pure,
as compared to 85-95% for RO systems) and doesn't have the added
cost of filter replacement. There are some very nice tabletop models
with about the same size and appearance as a coffee maker which sell
for between US $160 and $200. In particular, the Ecowater (Tapworks),
Waterwise, Lifecare, and Genesis distillers all cost around $200
and produce about 16 liters/day, which is more than enough for people
with small collections. The cost of distilling the water is only
25 cents/gallon. I bought the one by Ecowater, and it works great.
For the time being I'll include the links below as a Bookmarks file.
Unfortunately our WWW server is still not up and running, but as soon
as it is, I'll put it on-line and give a link to it as well.
I hope someone finds this useful - let me know.
Best regards,
