so I would be better off to buy the same filters from the same brand filter?? I got the 2nd unit you link for the house, i'll just keep it simple and buy the other 1 for the shop/pups and use there filters...ty ty ty again
Brand wont matter as long as the filer dimensions are the same. With that said if you get the 2 i linked you will not have a problem mixing and matching.

Are you near a hot spring Basscaptain? Sulfur smell at all?
No sir, i have a spring in the back area of the land but below the buff line where I planted those 10 auto's, everything around that area is green, i'll have to test that water....

I can't use/drink the water at all myself, my body doesn't like metals at all, if I wear anything that is not 14kreal gold or ss , I brake out and my skin eat the stuff apart.... I tryed to drink it for a wek in kool aid and sun tea, the next week I looked like a Junkie........................................................... it was BAD

RO was relatively new when i left the biz but unless they’ve come a long way they could never handle that kind of iron. They look just like what i remember and if i read your pH is 4, you need a neutralizer, iron filter and softener and still couldnt water with it. Good luck, hope the spring tests better for ya.

water softener is not a good idea for plants. It exchanges minerals like calcium etc for sodium. Need an RO

OK Now I have a ?? and I know this is going to sound>>>>> anyways

What are you guy's doing with your RO waste water????


Lol. Thats why i stopped using it. 2/3 of my water goes right down the drain. I do use it for my whole house humidifier. Keeps the unit much cleaner than tap water. But i have a pretty decent deep well here. Just a bit too much iron. Some extra runoff mostly takes care of the excess.

ya I'm not going to let it go down the drain, right now I have it going to a 5 but that's not going to hold it so I need a 50 gal or something to hold it, or I'll just let it go into the yard for the grass,

Since it's just me and the dogs not so bad but I can see I need to do something

they say 50% 50% lol your 2/3 is Dead on
