It depends on the pressure in the water source. but yeah 50 gpd = 50 Gallons per day.

It's against the rules to give links, but all you have to look for is a: RO/DI 4-6 Stage unit. it doesn't matter what gpd it is.

i'd be a bit wary of what it claims it will produce though. I can't remember if my unit is supposed to produce 50 or 75 gpd, but in 12 hours it generally won't even fill up a 5 gallon bucket, so I don't know what to think about that...

yes, nothing removes impurities as good as ro/di unit. Although there's just RO units. But RO/DI units takes it a step further in filtration with the last DI cartridge.
You can google "the filter guys" they have good ones also Kent's Maximas are good.

Some hook them up to a basement or wash room utility sink or water lines that feed you washer dryer. Also have seen people run them directly from there kitchen sink. The unit can be permanently mounted or mounted to where you need to pull the line out and hook it to your sink. Yes, they just hook up, turn on, and let it run. Some have built systems that have a float valve on them to stop the flow when the container they are filling gets full. If you have a 75 gallon per day unit. It will take 24 hours or more to fill a 75 gallon container.
