From reading alot of the posts by everyone here I understand many of the people here the RO units from airwaterice, but has anyone used a RO unit thats also for kitchen use and aquarium, such that the units come with a small water storage tank and a faucet? I am planning to have two faucets for RO water one in the kitchen for drinking water and another in the basement pantry with the RO unit. There will be a shut off valve in the basement, so that when I decide I need water I can turn the switch on and have RO water downstairs. I live in Ontario, Canada near Toronto and would also like to know whether I can obtain parts such as the membranes, carbon, and sediment blocks for the airwaterice units near me without having to always order online. Additionally I would like to stress the fact that I don't want to have a RO unit that functions well, but requires me to go through lengths to buy parts and accessories for it. That said I would really like some of you guys to give me some feedback on models that would be great for kitchen and aquarium use as well as producing around 75 gpd to 100 gpd and the use of a DI for me is a bit too costly, so I would like to have a unit without one, if possible.

Thanks

My wife uses our ro to fill her steam iron. I use it for fish and also to fill a humidifier in the winter. Don T.

I use the GE merlin direct use RO Fish room first and I fill up 5 Gallon Bottles for the water cooler upstairs. The drinking water for human consumption is mixed 50 50 with filtered tap water. The filtered tap is run through 3 20inch housings. 2carbon and one 5 micro. Hope that helps. Ed
