  • I started with a cheap kit from a company that no longer exists. Over the last 15 years I have added and upgraded parts. I would say buy what you can afford and then upgrade as you go. The uv and remineralizers are nice to have but not needed. Just be sure to get a 5 stage to start. 3 stage pre filters plus membrane and charcoal. Another good upgrade is a permeate pump, it boosts the efficiency and saves water on the waste. I have my waste water fed out to water my garden in the summer.

    I once even tried to add a Deionization filter before the minerals that way it was almost 0ppm tds before adding back the minerals but it seemed to destroy my mineral cart and made my water smell fishy.

    I am not an expert just a homeowner with 15 years of filtering my own water.














  • Just turned 40 and I hardly ever game. I have returned to a hobby that I had as a kid but super charged it. I loved electronics as a kid, building and taking things apart. Now I am into 3D printing, home automation, electronics. Lately I have been building sensors and devices that combine all my hobbies. I have over 40 EspHome devices in my house and 25 WLED controlled lights and lamps. Had to upgrade my wifi APs to handle to load.

    I love restoring old consoles and gaming things but I just can’t get myself to use the consoles I repair. But I did restore my old GBA SP with an upgraded screen and battery and have occasionally played some FF Tactics on it.
