If there is a boil water order for my city, and I use the RO water...is it safe to drink???
Just preparing for hurricane season.
I would assume it will be safe to drink,if it is thats one less thing to worry about.

the reason they would have a boil order in effect is to kill any virus's/bacteria... a RO filter will NOT remove pathogens from the water...you dont want that water even go through your filter, you may want to bleed out the line before filtering AFTER the order has been lifted...
no dont do it. if a ro filter did, we would all have the RO filter hooked to our tanks.
