Tools and Hardware Reviews of GE Merlin Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System
Customer Review: Very Satisfied with this product
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the GE Merlin over a year ago and have been extremely satisfied with it. I have read all the reviews others have made but I don't use any of the fancy components that others may use like a booster pump or fridge ice makers etc. I just fill a tank with the merlin and then have plenty of RO water for whatever I need. I use about 300 Gallons of RO water per week.
I have figured out that the amount of RO water compared to how much it uses is about 1/5. So out of 5 gallons of water used you get 1 RO gallon. I am filtering city tap water and have it connected to a faucet which I operate manually. The TDS of my city water ranges between 80-110ppm and when it is processed it measures under 10ppm. I also have nice pressure (90psi) so i just use the included pressure gauge and open the valve accoringly until the gauge reads 80psi, and it works great.
I am boggled why it has such bad reviews. It is quiet, it has the most filtering capability for any thing in this price range. You could easily spend twice as much as this on one that has a large storage tank setup or a bunch of fancy valve tank assembly junk. This is an on demand system so produce as much as you need. It would work great in a restraunt or somthing in a cafateria where you you produce it when you need it. It takes up a small space and best of all it has 2 RO Filters, instead of other systems which cost twice as much and only have one filer and produce less volume. I find it takes about 5 minutes for 5 gallons. There is a drawback however they dont seem to provide you with very much hose to hook it up with so you might have to take a trip to your local hardware store and get some additional components. It you are try to have some sort of automated system setup or somthing, can simply hook up a simple gardening timer available at you local hardware store for anywhere from 15 bucks to 100 or so take your pick.
My advice is BUY IT. It has worked great for over a year and produces nice clean water, and it tastes good too. Dont get all fancy with the gadges and it will work fine, and always put a valve between the merlin and the water source so if it automaticly turns on one day you can shut it off. I dont understand how the thing would just turn on but, Im not getting fancy with it. But make sure to install it with care and dont be confused, it you are have a plumber to it. Hope this helps to all of you who want to be healthier by have lots of clean water to drink and cook with. Take care!
Description of GE Merlin Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System
GE Infrastructure Water and Process Technologies has achieved a revolutionary breakthrough in the water treatment industry. Out-of-the-box thinking and years of research have produced a totally new point-of-use drinking water system. The New Merlin RO System features continuous-flow water production of 0.5+ gallons per minute, so a storage tank is no longer required. RO water on demand! The unit operates on line pressure (40 to 50 psi required), which eliminates the need for an electrical pump. The patented high-production, low-energy membrane purifies up to 720 gallons of water per day. This high capacity performance creates new opportunities for light duty commercial applications and great for the residential homeowner too! The system is NSF standard 58 approved, and has a compact design that can easily fit beneath the kitchen sink. Supplied with a designer air gap faucet and all interconnecting tubing, the Merlin installs quickly and easily. Covered by a 3-year limited warranty for residential applications, and a 1-year limited warranty in commercial application. Note: Reverse osmosis typically wastes 3 to 4 gallons of water for every gallon it produces.Water Coolers & Filters
