Oldest daughter donated a kidney to her sister's fianc last week. He's coming home today with a long list of restrictions, including unfiltered tap water. The #
of multiple filter RO systems is confusing. They're on Des Moines city water, layout supports the system hanging on the wall in the basement directly below the
kitchen sink where a tap would be installed so it doesn't have to be an undercabinet install. Potentially running a tube to the 2nd floor bathroom. A particulate
filter ahead of the RO filter makes some sense, keeps bigger junk out of the RO. I don't understand having two different carbon filters. Is it the same carbon in
each? Coconut filter? Mineral filter that adds minerals back in? Does it make the water taste any different/better? It's a small house with just the 2 of them,
would 50 gallons per day be enough? Some of them look to have proprietary filters that are more expensive to replace. I don't mind if it's adding a value, but I
don't see what that would be. Anyone have a brand they're happy with. Experience with Apec, which seems to dominate Amazon?
