Hi , I've an ro unit and a whole house softener that feeds into it. I've been having ongoing softener problems for a long time which I have a guy working on at the moment. Basically still getting hardness iron and I believe manganese in my water. Anyway there's a slight off taste from my ro filtered water. As a test I boiled some down for about an hour last night and compared the taste of the boiled stuff to some straight from the ro unit. The boiled stuff tasted much better, kinda hard to describe but more pleasant to drink. It's like the straight ro stuff is slightly bitter. There was no residues in the pot after boiling to suggest minerals settling out so I'm wondering what it could be that boiling made it taste better? Someone suggested to me that bacteria can grow through an ro membrane? There is choliforms in my incoming water. Could that be it? The filters and membrane are a few months old and don't get heavy usage.
Thanks
