Default Service considerations

Did you get the extended warranty? We just paid it up front. Life time 24 / 7 service. Full replacement. And our system can be serviced.

Most systems will wear out and the internal media needs replacing. When you do the math on certain systems they become throw away not servicable.

Nothing wrong with that as long as your aware of it. The carbon does deplete and has to be swapped out every 3-5 years depending on use.

Now if you have no carbon filter the chlorine will destroy the media inside the softener that softens the water.

Your system is better than nothing. Your drinking water still must be filtered. I spent 7 days with my son on a fast attack sub cruise. No bottled or britta or pure or sears it was all reverse osmosis for drinking.

And I learned how to take quick cold showers! LOL
