    RO Auto-shutoff Valve with Widest Range

    Does anyone know of an automatic shutoff valve (ASV) for RO with a wide separation between ON and OFF pressures? The widest-range valve I find is the Hydronamic ASV-ERP, which closes at 90% of line pressure (and opens at 70%, anecdotally, because no specs). The 90% is ok, but I'm looking for...

    Reverse Osmosis Drain Valve - Best Location in Single Drain Sink?

    My sink only has one drain that connects directly to the garbage disposal, and the Reverse Osmosis drain valve installation doesn't have any recommendations for this setup. Would the circled area (just before the Redi-Vent but after the P-trap) be the best place to install the RO drain valve...

    Should RO receive hard water or softened water?

    Hi, I'm building a new home in Phoenix, AZ, and I was checking out the plumbing rough in, and noticed something that struck me as odd: I have a softener loop installed, but at the service entrance to the home, there's a bypass. I would expect the bypass to send (hard) water to the outdoor hose...

    Water Softener/Whole Home RO

    Biggest of the questions I currently have: Would a water softener be able to actually reduce hardness if my natural sodium level is 350 mg/L or would it just be constantly regenerating? The Story: My wife and I just closed on our first home two weeks ago. This is the first time I have...

    Reverse Osmosis Draining Hookup

    We recently got an R/O system and wanted it in the basement since we dont have room under our sink for it. It's close to the fridge just upstairs. The problem is we don't have a place to drain.

    Gurgling RO countertop system

    I recently moved into a new house and reinstalled there the reverse osmosis kitchen countertop system I have (Aquasana's OptimH2o Reverse Osmosis + Claryum Under Counter).
