Water waste is an issue if you were to use this for all your water needs.
In most cases, it's a separate tap at the kitchen sink, produces up to 10
gal/day for drinking and ice only. In my case, total RO water use is about
5 gal, twice a month. So water waste is less than 100 gal. Beats buying
bottled water, at least in convenience.
I don't think anyone is suggesting using this for showering. On a boat,
it's a different matter.
