Keith Hughes Man it's hard to get real information from the net in the horrendous NOISE from the RO manufacturers and sellers! There's just all this conflicting BULL****! In the last five years or so, the net has become nothing but... bull**** and stale links. |

But I've been looking at micro results from RO, DI, EDI, and distillation systems for over 25 years, and I base my opinions on the data I've seen. I've seen RO systems totally out of control, with bugs out the wazoo, but any system that's minimally maintained doesn't present a problem. Keith Hughes |

When there are conflicting claims, you then have to decide which is BS and which is real. Of course, you may need evidence and experience to decide whether any or all are either BS or truth. Then you have to decide whether your experience is representative or unique. Ah, well, that's why we have the scientific method. Mark Borgerson |
