I have been thinking about a R/O system, the only detraction other than initial price that I can see, is that many R/O systems discard allot of water in relation to how much it purifies - and in area's that pay an increasing scale with increasing water use , that is a major drawback.

still pennies on the dollar in comparison to other ways of obtaining clean water. i have not had a noticeable increase in the water bill here either since installing one. i'd say while a viable concern it's really negligible in reality.

I am gonna add to your clutter:

Me and my bf did the bottled water for a looong time too. And then one day we decided that its costing too much and all those plastic bottles filling the land fill, yikes! Our town doesn't recycle either. bad bad town! So we got a filter-pitcher and a few plastic bottles and we never looked back. i feel so much better about the whole deal too. I may upgrade later down the line when I can spare some cash, for now that pitcher is all good.
