  What would you recommend for those wither either a low budget (less than $100USD) that does not require power nor be on the main city water supply?

  Water purification is becoming such an important topic! I am doing a series on water that really adds to what you are saying. Surf on over!

  Water purification is becomign such an important topic. It seems like everyone is catching on that water is our foundation. I have a channel that really adds to this conversation. Surf on over!

  Too expensive !

  Please show me GE spec sheets that show 50% recovery at 60%psi funny as GE membranes (Desal) are rated at 50PSI. I take it you are CWSVI. How many Merlin systems do you sell a year? I don’t intend to attack you or your business I am just not a fan of the Merlin if used in a house. However it has several worth while applications. Are you a home spring fan as well.

  You failed to offer the make and model # of any other tankless systems??

• 11 WaterFiltersAquaman // Mar 22, 2010 at 4:00 am

  Concerning the pump issue, the Merlin is no different than any other RO system. It needs pressure of 60psi minimum to function efficiently. I sell as many Merlins without a pump as I do with the pump. A boster pump is a good idea for any RO system, as it will increase efficiency and improve TDS removal.

  The Merlin isn’t right for everyone and every situation, but it is a good system worth considering for many reasons already discussed.

  Sir I am a very large distributor for the Pentair / GE joint venture. I am very well educated in the water biz and sell over 20 million worth of components etc annually. I sell products wholesale globally and simply don’t like the Merlin. Ask your supplier where the GE membranes will be made and if the supply channel is full. Lots of love! You never addressed the pump issue?

• 13 WaterFiltersAquaman // Mar 22, 2010 at 4:59 am

  I’m anxious for you to tell me the make and model # of another tankless unit. I would be very happy to know about it. 50% recovery isn’t merely good, it’s amazing, considering no other system even comes close. Regular RO systems have a 4 to 1 waste ratio, which can only be improved by adding a complex zero waste reclamation system.

  I am unaware of any fulfillment issues. We have plenty of Merlins and all the replacement filters and membranes in stock for immediate delivery.

• 14 seanspix // Mar 22, 2010 at 5:13 am

  Some of what you say is true but it is hardly the only tankless on the market, 50% recovery is good but you are usually adding the Aquatech pump to achieve its true performance as stated in its spec sheets. GE just move all of the membrane production to China so you will have delivery issues for a while as they have to re-certify and are way behind. Good Luck

  All RO systems have strengths and weaknesses. The Merlin works much better when the inlet pressure is 60psi or better. TDS creep will only be a minor issue if the system is left unused for days at a time, but not when used regularly. Regardless of these minor issues, the Merlin is still the only tankless system on the market, and has the best waste water to good water ratio of any RO system, making it the greenest RO unit available today. My wife loves it!

• 16 seanspix // Mar 22, 2010 at 6:17 am

  The Merlin is a lot of trouble. TDS Creep, expensive and not for a typical house. Trust me your wife will hate it!

• 17 thelamb777 // Mar 22, 2010 at 7:06 am

  Does it get rid of flouride or not?…

• 18 insanekoolness // Mar 22, 2010 at 7:35 am

  Thanks for the extra info – thats the stuff that needs to be in the vid ^.^

• 19 WaterFiltersAquaman // Mar 22, 2010 at 8:12 am

  That depends on the contaminants in the water. It’s fair to suggest that some situations do not require RO to remove certain contaminants. However, there are a vast array of contaminants that cannot be removed through any other means, at least not economically. In those circumstances RO is not a luxury at all, but a necessity, and a significantly greener solution than bottled water or an electric distiller.

• 20 insanekoolness // Mar 22, 2010 at 9:11 am

  I’m just saying its more of a luxury than a necessity.

• 21 WaterFiltersAquaman // Mar 22, 2010 at 9:52 am

  There is no doubt that RO systems will use more water than regular filter systems, but regular systems deliver regular quality water. RO systems offer the highest possible level of water quality. The extra water is a small price to pay for extremely pure water.

• 22 insanekoolness // Mar 22, 2010 at 10:05 am

  I mean if you are paying for the water thats wasted too then its better to use a different water cleaning system.

  The Merlin is a point of use RO system typically installed under the kitchen sink with a dedicated drinking water faucet. It is not intended for whole house applications.

  In what way do you mean? Compared to other RO systems which have 4 to 1 or 5 to 1 ratios, it’s very good.
