We live in a rural area outside of town and we have a pump well water delivery system to our house. Would we also need to obtain a RO filter system?

The machine works well with well water. However, the purpose of the machine is to make water alkaline. Filtering your water depends on what is in it. You should have a test done.

Normally not. The unit has a onboard filter included. You can always call us at 1 800 560-0436 to consult with a representative about your water quality.

Yes, you need a filter system (either sand or the paper cartridge type)...the pump pushes the water through the filter. I have the saltwater with the sand pump...I LOVE IT...

This is the UV light only and you would need to purchase a pump, hosing etc... What most people do is split off their current pump/filtration to route into a UV filter such as this.

Yes you would still need a filter, this is just a bubble wand. A good filter would be the aquaclear. It gets the job done and it's pretty inexpensive. By the way I have had 2 of these bubble wands for over a year and they are still working!

We just used our garden hose. We attached a water filter (about $25) because our water is high in minerals. It took about an hour or so.

Any filtration system should work. You or the plumber just have to connect it with the right fittings. I think we have the Everpure system also.

I did not use the filters as we have a whole house system on our home as well and a reverse osmosis drinking water system. I only used the RO water in the fountian. My bulldog puppy has they unit chewed up with in a week :(

I was going to install RO in my house until I found out that RO water eats copper tubing (which was already installed to the icemaker and remote sink) so I went to a micro filter instead. RO removes so much from water that it is extra corrosive to all types of metals. This I learned from an industrial chemical engineer.

my understanding is that this pump is only to boost the pressure of the filtered water. this allows you to mount the RO system in the garage (instead of under the sink)

I have well water and use it. As long as you have a decent water pump and your water does not come out slow, you'll be fine.

You should be all right. There's a gauge on the system that tells you if the pressure is good enough. The Better the pressure the more efficient the filter is

Required, not necessarly, but the R O filter will waste more to drain than it can actually absorb. Highly recommended.

They should....I have a water general RO system myself but not that model...as long as it uses standard filter sizes you should have no problem.

Yes. A filter is unnecessary. However, depending on whether your water source is full of minerals or organics, you might want to add a filter. I added a filter.

It depends on your water source and its quality,if you use this residentially or commercially,but I would get a TDS meter(cheap here) and this gives you an idea of incoming water vs your RO system has purified,you can google TDS values and get a idea of good and bad.In my situation my incoming water is around 160ppm and my RO system water is around 7 ppm.You need to do a quick and easy calculation(google it) of your situation,and this will tell you the performance of the membrane and its efficiency.I typically get at least 3 years to a membrane,but check mine often,with my TDS meter. I know this is long winded but every situation is different,it's really very simple once you get the TDS meter,thus being much more accurate,also the membranes are rated for efficiency,so make sure you get one that works for you. thanks,good luck

Should work really well. You will need a separate RO storage tank and pump though.

Hi Judith . Does your machine use this type of filter ? If yes, the filter should go into a filter holder in the water supply tank. Follow the instructions about soaking the filter in clean water for a short time and then rinsing it with clean water prior to installing. It's an easy procedure..
