I am considering installing my RO system to my 3/4" well water line before the the house filter and holding tank. Is this OK? The reason being is the pressure after the tank fluctuates between 20-50 psi when we are using non drinking water and the pressure before the tank and filter remains constant The RO sytem wastes alot of water to get the final product to the RO holding tank so it takes alot of time to fill it. I figured the installing the RO system this way would save time filling the RO holding tank. Am I on the right track. We are only going to use the RO for drinking water and ice for the fridge.
