Not quite as bad as cold fusion. I lived in a house that was equipped with
such an RO filter.
The trouble is, it wasted ten times as much water as it filtered through the
RO membrane.
Either way you look at it, this is a very wasteful device that uses too much
power and to omuhc water.
Perhaps the "marine" versions of RO are over priced. But unless you want to
build your own, which is not that dificult, yo upay for the convenience of
having someone else do it gor you.
In a house it wastes a lot of water. If the house is on a well the well may
not be capable of delivering so much quantity.
In a boat you woudl need to generate extra power to drive th epump.
That being the case, you might as well get the most efficienct pump you can
find to deliver enough potabel water using the least amount of energy.

Arild
