View attachment 1837772Between my wife & I, we drink 8-10 bottles of water a day and go through 3 or so cases a week. I figure this RO system will pay for itself in a short while. The install will require removing the sink, disposal and drilling through a granite counter top, as well as drilling and routing water to the fridge for ice, etc. Wish me luck.....
Nice, Ronnie. Let us know how it goes.View attachment 1837772Between my wife & I, we drink 8-10 bottles of water a day and go through 3 or so cases a week.

Usually the sulphur/rotten egg smell is a byproduct of otherwise harmless bacteria in well water that eats metal and gives off sulphur dioxide.Good luck with the install.....At our house in St Augustine we HAVE to have a filtration system, The water taste and smells like sulphur / rotten eggs if not...
thanks for the info , its fine now though with the filtration system..Usually the sulphur/rotten egg smell is a byproduct of otherwise harmless bacteria in well water that eats metal and gives off sulphur dioxide.
The solution is to kill the bacteria and prevent a food source.
We moved into the house I'm in and it was horrible with the smell.
We immediately got an electrostatic anode for the hot water heater (they love those anodes) and also to turn the hot water heater set point to 143 F.
We have no kids here, so not a problem.
As an aside, the "recommended" hot water heater set point is in the happy range for many waterborne bacteria. Legionaires disease bacteria thrive at the recommended set point
There are other possible reasons for the smell, but the above is the most common.
This is a great DIY project and a very worthwhile addition to your home: better than drinking out of plastic bottles on a daily basis and significantly more convenient. I've installed a couple of undersink POU filtration systems and of course then the relevant maintenance needs. The only real PITA is crawling under and in the tight place the cabinet makes. Not sure of your setup, so I'm not sure why the sink has to come out.View attachment 1837772Between my wife & I, we drink 8-10 bottles of water a day and go through 3 or so cases a week.

It's all in and working perfectly. I will never figure out how the push connectors don't leak. BTW, didn't have to pull the sink, was able to reach the faucet after removing the disposal.
