The chart on their site that shows the number of gallons treatable goes "all the way" up to 400 ppm. I extrapolated from there and decided I need to install a whole-RV RO system. A future project....

The trouble with RO is that it wastes 8 gallons for every usable gallon. Then it's stored in a 5-10 gallon tank. They are practical for sink use or ice maker/drinking water, but not showers, washers or toilets. Once the storage tank depletes your pressure drops until it is replenished. That can take a while. Also, RO systems ideally should use softened water. I plan to install both a water softener and small RO for drinking

That has got to eat faucet fixtures. Is that well water?
