RO System Question-Hydro-Logic Evolution 1000 RO

[Bucksavage]

I am looking at a Hydro-Logic Evolution 1000 RO tankless RO system for my 3 bay self-serve wash. It appears to be a good system, just not sure I am looking at all the right parameters.

I would have it fed by soft water, then into the RO and then into a storage tank. The production rate would be plenty for my wash.

Any input would be appreciated. Some manufacturer information below.

"Achieve the highest flow rates from the most efficient RO system on the planet! Capable of producing more than 1,000 GPD or 42 gallon per hour of pure water. Remove 95%+ of all parts per million from your tap water. Save more water by running 2:1 waste to product water ratio. Includes custom KDF/Catalytic carbon filter for reduction of chlorine, chloramines, iron, sulfur and heavy metals - great for city or well water. Comes with all the necessary components for simple and quick setup."

I'm a little confused, again. You list this in its description as a "tankless" system, but then say you are going to put the RO into a tank. A production rate of 42 gallons per hour is around .6 gallons per minute. A self serve bay with a decent repressure pump will use maybe 4 to 6 gallons per minute, and you have three bays. Unless the price on this is substantially below what you see in the catalogues, I don't see any benefit to it. But then I never thought that ordinary people would buy a computer for their home either.

Not even close. A self-serve bay uses about 3 GPM at 1000 PSI. Reduce the pressure to 250 PSI and the GPM use is halved.

It is tankless but I think that is more for home use. Based on the production rate I would need to store it in a water tank for later usage. The system is $700 so it's affordable as long as it does what it claims. Thats why I am getting some opinions here.

I can't imagine running out with a 100 gallon storage tank while the system is making approximately 30 gallons an hour.
