Default Salt Water

Can any of your products be used with salt water? When used with fresh water: How soon after you put it in water, say like where I live in Florida from the St Johns River, would I be able to drink it?

Default Re: Salt Water

Are you looking for a drinking water system or a whole house water filtration system? I will give you a couple options for both.

Reverse Osmosis systems reduce sodium from water. The RO membrane is the part of the system that reduces sodium. Here are a couple RO systems:

For a whole house system which filters all the water coming into your house, you would use a whole house system with a deionization water filter.
Here is the system:

Here is the deionization filter:

Most people install two whole house systems together with a sediment filter first. The reason is that the sediment filter preserves the life of the more expensive 2nd filter which in this case is the BBF1-20MB deionization cartridge. If you do install 2 housings, the DGD-5005-20 is a very popular filter for the 1st whole house system:
