ROFL Installation

2011
Before I start this recap of how I installed my ROFL, I should inform you that ROFL stands for Reverse Osmosis FiLter.
Some of you may recall that we had an iron filter installed several weeks ago. That improved the general quality of the water, but I wanted to ensure that I wouldn’t need to buy bottled water anymore.
So I bought a reverse osmosis filter.
The whole system was about $170. Since bottled water is $5 per case of 24 and we went through about a case a week, it will take 34 weeks to break even. Plus I won’t have to lug those cases home from the store, and I won’t have to take the recycling out every week.
The installation is easy, in theory. When you’re dealing with an old house, nothing goes quite as simply as you hope.
On to the tutorial:
This post will tell you how to install a reverse osmosis filter. Or rather, how I installed mine.
