water is a heck of a lot cheeper than power, thats the differance. the one I am talking about has two 2200 watt elements in it, so running thoes 24 hours you will get 25 gal of water. the 50 gal of water you waist running a 25gpd ro is a tiny fraction of that, and if you want you can repurpose that wast water to a tub, watering your garden, ect..
I have been working with comercial deselination plants for the last 22 years and believe me they are not the most economical way to make water, but they can provide the purest and have the capability to produce huge amounts. the ones I last worked on would make 791 gal of absolute pure water every hour, a ro with that output would be way to much money to buy.
you have it so use it, when it is dead, or you want more output, look for a RO to replace it.
