[QUOTE=Shoalwaters;129179 time, I smell and then taste the output. If I can detect any trace of saltiness (or anything else) I let it run a little longer. The output - 10gph at 800 psi - is as good or better than the mfg says I should get.[/QUOTE]

Hey Mike...Please get a TDS Meter because you can't start tasting the "salt" until it reaches a level that will be hard on your Kidneys. So the only way to know if your RO water is safe to drink (Below 500ppm TDS) is by using a TDS meter. I was cruising with a couple in the Sea of Cortez that were going by taste and they started to think something was wrong with their water maker when their cat wouldn't drink the water and their herbs started to die in the Pots!
