Enjoy your RO water how it is, perfectly crisp and clean.. Get yourself a nice cold water dispenser and toss the jugs straight on. Chug some tap from the bathroom faucet once in awhile if you are that worried about it, or better yet keep a balanced diet full of veggies and proteins.

Yarrr... Leave your clean water alone, it's perfect as is for plants and people. lol

50 gallon, food safe, HDPE plastic drum, a $15 pump and about $15 in food grade hose. Oh yeah, a float valve shutoff mounted inside the drum. I always have plenty of r/o available.

Been reading some real sad stories about water contaminates showing up all over in water that is being used on crops.

haha yes Bobby eat a good money and don't worry about it!

Douglas perfect! Float Valve easy to install . Need to get a drain stop valve of some sort or it keeps draining water to.

Gry what do you mean? Like Food crops? Medicinal crops? Personal Grows? Is that water from using a RO system, or just bad tap water?

Not sure what you mean by this, but if you are implying what I think you are, then probably not, no. One float valve should do the trick. System should have an Automatic Shut Off pre-installed which prevents the system from continuing to push dirty water out of the "drain" once water in the "clean" line has been stopped off by the float valve. Voodoo magic.

Drain stops a minute after the float valve on the clean line shuts off. No need for 2 valves.

Thanks guys! yeah I don't know, I saw in a video guy was saying you need an "auto shut off valve " to stop dirty water from continuing to flow.

Guy at store was also very helpful, he told me I only need a float valve. So I got that and Stealth RO unit, and also KDF filter I bought extra because it's better than coconut green.

So Thanks you guys were very helpful!
