RO & SubZero... booster pump?
Hello All,
My home is in the process of being built and my wife and I are adding a water softener and RO system to the home. We reduced our options for these systems to either Kinetico or Hague... however, we are now second guessing on whether or not we should purchase the RO unit from these respective companies, or whether we should purchase a more inexpensive RO unit.
Our concerns are:
1) We received information that with a SubZero refrigerator, the water pressure from an RO is insufficient, and that we'll need to purchase a booster pump (I believe) to increase the PSI to the SubZero. Kinetico claims that their unit produces enough pressure and eliminates the need for it. Is this the case? If not, what are my options for a booster pump... reliability, enough pressure and quietness being equally important.
2) We intend on running tubing (food grade) to a potfiller over our range from our RO. Do you see any potential issues that may arise from this setup; for any of the RO units, Kinetico, Hague or the inexpensive alternative?
3) If there are no real advantages with the Kinetico or Hague units, what inexpensive (relatively speaking) options are recommended?
We are a family of four; two infants, my wife and myself. Long term, we are planning on having one more child. We also get guests about twice a year, for about a month at a time... usually 1 or 2 people.
I appreciate any input and thank you in advance!
