Reverse osmosis systems

[Lynn]

Thanks for the lead Bill. Talked to Ken at length yesterday.

Talked to the kidney doc this morning and he gave the OK for either system, deionization or the Berkey purifier.

Vern, on the Berkey system, I understand that the water just pours in the top chamber and gravity does the rest. If I choose to place the unit in the pantry (which is where our current water dispenser is) can I remove the top chamber, take it to the sink for filling and then take it back into the pantry to place on the bottom chamber. In other words, is there any type of "shut off"? Don't want to be leaking water on the floor from the sink to the pantry.

Also, do you have the sight glass tap so you can moniter the level? If not, how do you know when it is getting low?

Thanks for any help.

----Lynn,,,Ken could talk a dog off a meat truck but he really knows this stuff. For instance, I got the chlorine removal system and I cant describe how great the showers are. Chlorine dries out your skin and when its removed, especially during the winter, the showers are fantastic........Bill S

Sending Ken a water sample to get his recommendation.

Sorry, I'm on vacation in Australia for five weeks and haven't been online much. You would have to carry water to the upper unit as it starts filtering as soon as you pour water in it. I do have the glass sight gauge so you always know how much is in the lower unit. I promise it's the sweetest water you will ever drink.

No need to apologize. I'm jealous. Hope you are having a great time. Sent a water sample to Bill's buddy,and am still investigating.

Lots of conflicting info out there.

I appreciate the input.
