That is not the configuration we recommend. If you go that route, keep an eye out for Total Chlorine and Free Chlorine in your concentrate. Or, get an Add On Housing Kit and plumb it in upstream of your existing housings. Move your sediment filter to the new housing, put a Chloraguard where...

Chloramines require additional contact time with the carbon for proper treatment. If you're careful (testing the concentrate for total and free chlorine), and change our 0.5 Mic Chlorine Grabber frequently enough, you may be fine. If you want a little peace of mind, add a Chloraguard, and...

Looks like water from an area underlain by granite rather than limestone

Yep - the apec systems I'm aware of have just that. https://www.buckeyehydro.com/inline-taste-and-odor-filter/

Agreed.

Standard GAC is a carryover from the old days and if a new system comes with a GAC filter I'd look to another vendor. GAC is included because it is very inexpensive for the vendor and users don't know any better. CGAC is a different story. But you're better off going with two carbon blocks...

It does not come with the filters anyone would recommend for chloramines.

If an item says it meets FDA standards, it is acceptable for any food type materials. To be safe for water (and food), it would need to meet NSF standards. NSF stands for National Sanitation Foundation. If NSF rated it means it has passed some standard or test procedure and is certified for use...

I'd jump down to 1/4" but that is not critical

That tank is not certified for drinking water.

I would jump up to 3/8" tubing for a 100' run. Put the tank close to the outlet. https://www.buckeyehydro.com/union-connector/

It depends upon the container you're using. An unpressurized (aka "atmospheric") poly tank can impart taste/odor... but it is less common.

If the feedwater to an RO is softened, you can run it at a 2:1 or better.

There are four standard cartridge filter sizes: 10" x 2.5" 20" x 2.5" 10" x 4.5" 20" x 4.5" For whole house applications think about either that are 4.5" in diameter. What is the diameter of the pipe you're connecting to the housings? Read the fine print regarding the flow capacity of the...

Your well pump pressure is controlled by a pressure switch - these are typically adjustable.

What are you trying to accomplish with the carbon blocks? You don't have chlorine to remove, and hopefully you also don't have problems with organics. What size are these filters? 10" x 2.5"? If so, they are way too small.

Just as hard water will deposit scale on faucets, in water heaters, and on almost anything it touches - it will also deposit scale inside an RO element. The scale will plug the membrane, and in our experience, will act like an abrasive that results in holes in the membrane. So you'll end up...

The largest 10" filter measures 10" x 4.5". Maximum flow should be limited to about 2, 3, or 4 gpm depending on the specs of the particular cartridge. Flow house flow is typically double or triple that. For instance, a garden hose is about 5-7 gpm. Point being that people often push water...
