Reverse Osmosis System Installation Video

This post goes into the off-the-grid water subseries.


Given that the production of water on site requires a lot of electricity, it may well be that the only water you'll be able to manage is the water that can be trucked in.  That puts a big premium on getting the most out of a very limited supply.  For that job, it will be necessary to clean up the used, grey water, and convert it back into potable water.

The RO system to use may be this one, or the one in the video below: iSpring Reverse Osmosis water filter system.

An aquarium water pump will supply the water to the system.  Here's the power requirements for such a pump.  The cost is minimal.

It can be seen that only 8 watts will power a system that should be adequate for the purposes here.  It will take a short amount of time for the water to be processed, so the thing shouldn't run continuously.  Therefore, it won't drain the batteries.

In my case, I have no intention of drinking this water, but to use it as bath water.
