i learned something today maybe the rest of you knew and i was left out....
i am buying a chilled water drinking fountain for the garage. i was curious if the RO system i am putting in ther garage for drinking water will be enough pressure for the drinking fountain, so i called Elkay and asked their tech support.
what they said surprised me.
Don't do it.
they said that RO water causes corrosion to the metal tubing and tank in the drinking foutain and will leach the metals into the RO water and make it fail and not have great tasting water.
i looked it up on line and that is why they use all plastic tubing for RO systems.
well, what do ya know....
