    Congrats on your new R/O.
    PROS;
    1. Dont have to leave the house to get water or carry those uncomfortable jugs.
    2. You know what kind(quality) of water your getting.
    3. Piece of mind if an emergency should arise and the LFS is closed.
    4. You can hook up the R/O unit with an ATO system and never have to worry about topping off the tank.

    CONS;
    1. Need to make sure the unit is sealed/tighten correctly or you might come home to a new swimming pool.
    2. One more reason to "stress" yourself out if the unit is working properly or not.
    3. Might need to buy a DTS meter to indicate when to change out the filters.
    4. A new expense when buying the new filters.

    It all depends on the person and how they look at it. Good luck with it. Luna
