I am looking at Reverse Osmosis Water filtration systems. Can you recommend a brand? Why or why not?
Watts looks good if you live near a sales rep and are filty rich - I am not.
espring thinks flouride is good for you, which it's not.
home depot sells GE 10gpd for under 250 bucks. this is comparable to the systems i used to sell for 1200 ! if you cant install it about 50 dollars is what a handyman should charge. RO delivers the best quality water in your home for drinking and cooking, anything that goes in your body. my motto, if it is not there it cant hurt you!

I suggest using the Watts brand reverse osmosis system. We use that at work, and the water tastes 10 times better than any bottled water i've ever had.
Here is a link to their website with the products they offer.

The eSpring® Water Purifier improves the taste, odor, and clarity of 1,320 gallons of water, enough for a family of six to cook and drink with, for one year. The carbon-block filter reduces more than 140 potential health-effect contaminants – like pesticides, VOCs, mercury, and lead – yet allows beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium to pass through. The UV bulb destroys microorganisms in drinking water without the use of chemicals. eSpring is certified by NSF International and has earned a Gold Seal from the Water Quality Association.
Reduces over 140 potential health-related contaminants. No system reduces more.
The first in-home system to be certified to meet these three separate international standards of water quality by NSF International, 42, 53, and 55B:
Standard 42: Improves taste, odor, and clarity.
Standard 53: Reduces health-effect contaminants.
Standard 55B: Reduces microorganisms with UV light.
Has earned the Water Quality Association's Gold Seal for superior consumer water treatment products.
Works well at all household water pressures, from very low to very high.
The cartridge is designed to serve the average cooking and drinking water needs for a family of six for one year or 1,320 gallons, whichever comes first.
Cost-effective: The cost per gallon in the second year is less than 13 cents.
Visit http://www.espring.com for details on how eSpring® technology compares to other systems in contaminant reduction and price.
Patented monitoring system lets you know the carbon filter and UV bulb are working, and when it's time for the annual cartridge change.
Changing the cartridge requires no special tools and is as simple as changing a light bulb.
The UV bulb inside the cartridge switches on only when you turn on the tap, so water flows cold, not warmed by the UV light.
Comes with a two-year limited warranty on parts and labor. And a refund within 120 days of your purchase if you're not completely and utterly satisfied.
