Don't see why they would not work in lake water, with a pre
filter/strainer of some kind to remove junk, and an ultraviolet
sterilizer after the unit to get rid of bacteria. Salt water would
probably be too much. Frank



Bacteria won't go through the membrane on an RO system.....however, as
bacteria collect on the high side of the membrane, they die and break
apart, releasing their toxins. The toxins, unfortunately, DO pass through
the membrane making the outlet water toxic to humans. I doubt ultraviolet
light has any effect on the toxins, which aren't alive. RO people don't
like to talk about bacterial breakdown causing people to get sick drinking
RO water.....

I only tell you this because I'm a DISTILLER water person, here....(c; I'm
down to 3.8 ppm total dissolved solids in my output. The taste and the
coffee it makes is superb... NOTHING sanitizes like STEAM.

RO is STILL just a filter. Once the filter's clogged or something
approaches the filter that's smaller than the filter's design, it enters
the outlet water stream and no amount of wishing will change it....
