I have a tank less water heater. I live in California and I don't like to waste water. Is there way for this to work with my RO Water system? Thx!

I think it depend on Water piping and your management.Never throw hot water to RO filter.But RO system basically&#12288;waste water,and in my case,this system worsen TDS(Total Dissolved Solid) .I think we'd better use drainage water to gardening or such a daily water(not for drink).i don't recommend this system.

I would recommend you get a filter cooler, and stay away from the RO models. it will be much easier with no ned for a drain line ect...

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

Correct, it is tankless. It works great, but does not quite produce the 100 gallons per day as advertised. However, it does a great job of providing clean RO water. Be sure you an easily access a drain for the waste water. All in all a good value for the money.

I do not think that this valve will give you the required flow while hot water is not being used. It is designed to work in series with the Watts circulating pump and as such I do not think that it will have any effect in a tank-less hot water system.

Actually, I have a revers osmosis system in my house for drinking water and I didn't use the filter. I was told by my plumber if I filtered my RO system it will slow down my water pressure. The RO water is already great and I didn't need another filter. If I did use it though it would be easy to change. I have an extra filter.

As long as it is below the water level and water flows INTO the pump easily ( gravity fed ) it will work. DO NOT PUMP HOT WATER INTO A RO unit , however as it will destroy the RO membrane. Use only cold waterUse cold water only!!

Those guys pretty much answered your question, basically you need to 'wash' the membrane in the filter so you end up with waste water; some units are worse, I've heard of 4:1. Usually, the faster it produces water, the more waste water it produces (for the same size system). BUT, I have something to add; YOU CAN COLLECT YOUR WASTE WATER, to water your plants or use around the house Its really simple, just replace the supplied 1/4" tubing. (I bought a roll of 1/4" tubing, 50ft, from the irrigation/sprinkler department at the hardware store for cheap.), get a reservoir (I bought a 60gallon garbage can for $25) and replace the waste water line (black hose) with 1/4" tuning ran to the reservoir (garbage can) Its that easy, and you don't waste the water anymore! Be Green!! :r)

Sorry, but I can't help you as I didn't go with RO since the house was plumbed with copper tubing to the outlets where we wanted treated water. I found out that RO water is very corrosive to metal pipes and polymer tubing is needed. However, I would guess that 3 hoses would be needed since you are using tap water pressure to force water through a semipermeable membrane to leave minerals and organic matter behind which must be flushed off the membrane to waste. The third hose would be your RO water. (This is theoretical to an old chemists so take if for it may be worth.)

This faucet will not work for your RO system. This faucet is for a standard drinking water tap. The faucet you need for your unit is a air gap faucet. Search for reverse osmosis air gap faucet. Hope this helps Rod B

Unfortunately no, this system is a much larger system and needs to be run off of one of the spouts outside of your house. It needs a good amount of water pressure to produce RO water. And this also has a waste water port that needs to drain somewhere as you use the hydrologic system. I use it to fill up trash cans ( 40 gals +). I would suggest something a little smaller for what your looking for. Good luck!

I have a hot and cold system and it works like a dream. The water goes from filter to separate heating tank however. Not sure how your system is set up.

Yes it should work but these heaters take additional time to heat the water so the nearer the unit is to the point of use the better

we have an electric tank less that is rated at 4.5 GPM. We have very hard water in this part of MA and also have a well. We have been in this house for 30 years and have had problems with pipes rotting away. When we installed the electric tank less we installed this filter also. We used the heater for a few months and than had the plumber perform the maintenance suggested by the tank less mfg. It was clean as a whistle. Our flow rate is not as high as yours but if you had one in line with each heater - i would think it would work fine. Our heater used 120A for 4.5 GPM - if yours is electric it most use a lot of power! For our use I am very satisfied with the filter and given our water quality situation and how clean the heater was - i would highly recommend this filter. KR in MA

If it's like mine (and it looks like it is), this is compatible with MOST water filter systems, quite easily. That includes most RO (reverse osmosis) systems. I called the company before ordering and asked them, and would suggest you call this company too, to make sure.

we have a whirlpool reverse osmosis system and our tank rusted and developed a leak. This save buying a whole new system. If it looks like the tank you have it should work. All we did was attach the water to the top of the tank and it began working.

It works fine without a tank, but a tank helps to ballast the system, so it depends upon what you want to do with it, or how many CFM you need per unit time.
