Hi, just stopped by doing some research for my Nevada 4g site. Truly more information that you can imagine on the web. Wasn’t what I was looking for, but nice site. Take care.

Hmm, thanks for the heads up. I must have been confused by the Wiki article:
“For every 5 gallons of output, a typical residential reverse osmosis filter will send around 10 – 20 gallons of water down the drain”

I can’t find any information about Stickney using solely RO and having an 85% conversion rate, perhaps you could share?

I hope people are more worried that there are drugs in the water, than the RO conversion rate.

Dear Sir,

You need to get your facts right before attempting to scare the crap out of people!
Reverse Osmosis does not “produce several gallons of toxic wastewater for every one gallon of clean water”. Try doing some research.

The largest wastewater reuse system in the United States, utilizing reverse osmosis, converts 85% of the feed water to product water.
