I am leaning towards a system like this one...http://www.freedrinkingwater.com/ro-90-detail.htm
Seems to waste a lot of water, so will probably capture and use the brine water on lawn or in courtyard fountain
Another option is this portable unit http://www.freedrinkingwater.com/ro-counter-detail.htm
Does anyone have experience using a portable unit? If so, do you drain and dry membranes to avoid nasty's growing in the filters?

Is this for home water or just for brewing? I notice this one has a 4 gallon tank that won't get you very far when it comes to brewing water. That's one reason I went with the tankless one and mounted it out in my garage. I can make drinking water with it and put it in the fridge, but it's just really convenient to make the water out there in the garage a day or two prior to brewing, and not having to worry about a tank seems simpler (and cheaper) than the tank systems.

I am looking at buying one with a tank...possibly upgrading to the larger 14 gallon tank, then use for icemakers etc

Sits on counter and hooks up to faucet
My thoughts were along the line of Chris's also. I was thinking of one with the tank for drinking, fridge & espresso machine and then I'd add a bypass to fill a larger container as needed.
Curious
Does anyone use a water testing kit eg. LaMotte for water adjustments.
It seems that knowing your values would make it somewhat easy to make additions and measure effects so you can actually record values for future cause and effect results.
I have not used anything before.
Also, has anyone used the "John Palmer Water Adjustment App Version 1.5"

I have not used the app, but am considering purchasing the LaMotte BrewLab Pro http://www.lamotte.com/en/food-beverage/7190.html
This kit will also check dissolved oxygen
After searching, was unable to locate a vendor, so requested contact details from LaMotte
Once received will post here
