Today I went on a service call to service a Reverse Osmosis System.  The filters were 12 months old.  When I removed them they were covered in a thick slimy biofilm.  It was nauseating to both my customer and me. Although RO systems can remove dirt and make water taste better most residential RO systems do little to inhibit bacterial growth. It is critical that the filters be changed at least annually but preferably every 6 months.  

Whether you go with the Reverse Osmosis (RO) system or the Steam Distiller I do think the garage will be the best place to install the primary unit because of it's size and making it easy to service.  I would highly encourage you to consider the steam distiller as a water treatment option.  I have tried to make the following information as concise as possible as I know you have limited time to review.  

I can put in the very best top of the line RO system for relatively inexpensive and have it provide adequate flow and pressure to all the locations in your home but it will not provide your family with cleaner safer water.  And in the long run could easily end up costing more than a steam distiller. On large commercial scales like car washes, restaurants, or hotels RO systems can be more cost effective but for the average home a steam distiller wins out every time.  


OR


I can install the Crown Jewel of the Water Industry, a steam distiller.  This system is capable of taking water not only from the city but even a pool, pond, stream etc and extracting pure H2O resulting in the purest, cleanest water no matter what the feed source is. This system is unaffected by boil water alerts or other issues that can happen on any water supply. The key is its reliance on the natural process of evaporation.  When water evaporates all else is left behind.  This system is the best water you could ever get for your family plus it's already in place emergency preparedness.  

What ever you choose I want to be your water man for life.  Water treatment is a passion of mine.  I would like to be a resource for you to answer any of your questions about the above, as well as alternative full house systems.  There are some great water treatment technologies out there but there are also a lot of misunderstandings.  I have sat on the Arizona Water Quality Association Board AWQA for over 10 years now and constantly reviewing new products and technologies on the market.

Servicr call: customer said that water would run out of the wall when they turn on the water in the sink. 
Diagnosis: an educated guess was to access the drainline in the wall. It is a block exterior so we removed the dishwasher and cut the sheetrock. We discovered an old corroded copper drain pipe. using some hard to find specialty adapters the old piece was cutout and replaced with abs

we received a call about a leak coming out of the pavement.  Oddly, it was coming from an abandoned line. nobody knows where the line comes from. using hi tech equipment we will trace the line and cap it at the source. these are some of the issues you run into on really old homes  or in this case old businesses. this 1 is from the forties!
