It’s only in my kitchen. I’m going to try to install that part tomorrow. We’ll see how it works. Or if I fuck everything up completely. So basically each stage is a filtration level, RO systems normally go upto 7 stage. So the higher the stage the more you filter the water but don't equate that to a good thing. Because the higher the micron filter the more you filter the water, the more you filter you begin to filter out the good nutrients e.g iron, alkalinity ect. So with that being said, with your higher stage filters you then have to put the nutrients back in the water and this is where some people really get into it. Adding back the right nutrients that they life style and body needs. This is where it gets interesting because some systems use uv light to kill specific bacteria and strip the water to basically nothing but pure liquid. Whole House ROs are better all around if you are tapped in a water source with high calcium part per million as the calcium gets washed and dried in your closes which cause them to fade and break down quicker. Plus all of your appliances and plumbing fixtures will not build up and not prematurely breakdown or replace. Now is RO water directly from your faucet better than bottled water. Yes! I had a salesman show up to sell me an RO years ago (wish I would have bought) and he did his whole sales pitch hooked his adapter up to my faucet ran his water test. Then I placed a bottle of Ozarka water on the table and had him test the water too. Ozarka had impurities in the water but the RO didn't. That's when I was sold but I wasn't ready to buy. Your stage 4 should be good enough, but if you feel you want more, you can always add more filters. Or at least you should, but I don't know your system. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t figure that out. So I reattached my old one and it’s currently hanging so I can have ac during these 100 degree days. I meant to say something days ago, but I really like that color combo.

fat ralphy Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 No update on the project to date - next will be to eliminate and move the existing electrical. Going out of town for a week on Wednesday so it may be like 2 weeks before we make any progress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.yuck Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 And now for the furiousness Here's another amazing thing that happens when you just start freestyle building a house. This closet/master bath was a 4th bedroom. Behind that blue wall used to be the doorway into the bedroom. That doorway is now a linen closet in the hallway. Like a grade A maroon, I just continued the side wall of the linen closet into the master closet and made a little square tucked in the corner for the shitter to go. Pretty cool, huh? Well as I tried to build out the closet months later, I realized that that 3x3 cubby was unusable space. So I tore out the walls and will be pushing back into the bathroom encroaching on the toilet that ended up having a mile of room anyway. So things that got tore out: Drywall ✅ 3 piece base ✅ Oak flooring ✅ Electrical ✅ Crown molding ✅ Pride ✅ Lessons learned: make an accurate drawing of what you are trying to do in the future. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm gonna wait another month or 2 before I start up again. The AC is having a hard enough time keeping up with this heat let alone adding a bunch of lights and other equipment into the mix. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
