Hi there, I have been reading a few peoples journals and posts since joining recently and one thing that I am quite keen to do is to get my water softer. Mine is medium hard (apparently) and ideally I would like to both reduce the hardness, lower the pH and eliminate some of the rubbish that has been added to it.
From what I know (or it may be myth) about RO units from years ago, I do have a few concerns so here are some questions that hopefully some of you knowledgeable guys can help me with...
1) Can I connect an RO unit to an outside tap and run it outdoors ?
2) Is it ok just to use the RO unit once or twice a week and then shut it off and put it away once you have made enough water ?
3) How long can you store RO water for before having to use it ? (IE does it go stale quickly ?)
4) Once I know how long it takes to make my desired amount of RO water, could I hook it up to a timer valve ?
and finally
5) What pH and hardness will the RO water come out and and what do I need to get it back to where I want it to be (soft water and about 6.2 pH)?
Thanks.
