Reverse osmosis & copper tub & sinks?

11 years ago

We are finishing up our new construction and are planing the water filtration. As of now it looks like we will opt for a Kinetico RO system. However, our concern is that we have a copper tub and three copper bathroom sinks. Will we have issues with damage to the copper with an RO system?

It's much too expensive and wasteful to do RO for anything other than potable water. RO follows a standard water treatment system, and that treated water is what you will use for bathing and brushing your teeth.
