| - I bought a "Crystal Pure" Reverse Osmosis system at Lowe's and this is the company that shows up to install it. They are supposedly the same company as Crystal Pure according to Lowe's.
If you are looking cross-eyed at the fact that i bought a Reverse Osmosis system because you don't know what the hell it is and are wondering if I'm caught up in the Texas UFO fever or something, it is just a water purification system that goes under your kitchen sink and can hook up to a tap on your sink and your refridgerator.
I don't think I would know what the hell an RO system is if I hadn't grown up with one, but now I can't live without one. I'm not sure how so many people do.
Their top-o-tha-line RO system cost 320, but came with a penny install special. It actually was a 20 dollar install special when I started the paper work at Lowe's, but while waiting for the Lowe's plumbing dude to finish the papers as a dozen people came up asking where light bulbs, garbage disposals, and paperweights were, the Crystal Pure rep called up and said it was now a penny install special. Everything comes up Mike!
There was an extra 60 dollar charge for running a line to my refridgerator and and 8 dollar charge for an upgrade to a primo EURO FAUCET (I know you're jealous), but all in all it was a pretty good deal for an awesome RO system. Especially with the 250 dollar Lowe's gift card I got from my work. HOLLA!
They were able to come the next weekend (although at 7 a.m.) to install it and did the whole setup in a little over an hour.
The system itself is incredible, way better then your Mom's RO system. The water and ice cubes taste great (in that they have no taste at all), but the real test was with this sweet little water tester they gave me that tests total dissolved solids in water to PPM.
Which leads me to my new favorite hobby, WATER TESTING. I know, I'm pretty exciting. Apparently the bare minimum for safe drinking water according to the EPA is 500 PPM. What does cenPho city tap water score??? A barely acceptable 440. Ouch. Screw plastic bags, I'd keep the kiddies away from running water.
When the RO system was first cooking it was scoring a 130 as it was working out the kinks. But last time I tested, it was down to a 30. This is awesome compared to Costco bottled water which is a 40. Although the unquestioned king of water, in case you are keeping score at home, is Sparklets water from my work which scored a perfect 0. Congrats, ladies and gentlemen.
