Question from karl
Debra,
Do you or any of your readers know about a Reverse Osmosis Filter with a glass tank? I’d like to buy a RO filter but I don’t feel OK with the water that was filtered to be stored in a plastic or stainless steel tank, as I know leaching could (and probably would) occur as the water would be there for a considerable amount of time.
Debra’s Answer
I agree with you, which is one of the reasons why I don’t recommend RO. But don’t know of one with a glass tank.
We all have such good ideas, maybe WE need to design a water filter!
Dear Karl & Debra,
After 9 years later, I am so glad to reply your question.
We developed GLASS RO tank for domestic water purifiers.
We are still testing under the name of MIATO by richwater.
Thanks for inspiring us.
This was posted in 2011. Since you have an under the sink filter system now, do you have any new information about a glass tank?
COMMENT FROM DEBRA:
No.
You can use a direct flow RO system which uses no tank but the flow rate is about 1 litre per minute see here http://www.osmiowater.co.uk/water-filters/reverse-osmosis-water-filters/ecosoft-robust-60-l-hr-commercial-reverse-osmosis-system.html
Hi Stephanie,
We invented Glass Tank but still under testing.
