RO Units: Buy It or Rent It?
Q: How will I know if a store-bought system is installed correctly? A: YOU WON’T! We frequently get calls from owners with problems and find units hooked up backwards, hooked up to the hot water supply (which instantly ruins the membrane), as well as many other forms of inadequate or improper installation. Our service technicians have been trained by the manufacturers of Shayna Water RO System components and are among the most knowledgeable people in the state concerning RO technology. Q: How do I know my store-bought system is working properly? A: YOU DON’T! We find many owners’ machines producing unpurified tap water. The water must be tested with a TDS (total dissolved solids) meter in order to determine its quality. Many machines for sale on the market have gimmick devices (little flashing lights, automatic shutdown features, etc.) that are supposed to tell you when the unit needs service. We have tested most of these devices and have found them either inadequate or totally non-fun
