Water Filters and RO question

[caesar93]

I would like to buy a RO or water filter system. But, I would like it to hook up to my kitchen faucet without having to use the little faucet that usually comes with these type of systems. Please let me know of any suggestions that you may have. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can buy RO systems that have no faucet what so ever and only have a hose output that stays under the sink.
If I am understanding you correctly, you want RO water to come out of your main faucet. This may not be easily feasable as most RO systems have much slower output than normal faucets (measured in gallons per day rather than per minute). You would need a high-pressure system with a large reserve to accomplish this. A very expensive option.

Plus, the reverse osmosis process wastes about 3-4 gallons of water for every gallon of purified water it produces. That could get very expensive.

I have my r/o filter running through the water pressure in the house, so i dont have to have a seperate pump to go to the sump, it stores the water in a 40 gal pressure tank, when the water goes down the float in the sump controls the level, the waste water goes into a seperate container to water the plants.. etc, that way i'm not wasting all that water...
