Has anyone gotten a fairly fast RO system and stuffed it into a bucket or some kind of container and made it easy to hook up a RV hose and run the output right into the HLT/MLT to prep for a brew day? I usually have a solid hour or 2 (or more) of real prep, and a 150gpd RO system from Buckeye Hydro should easily give enough water in that time, I think?

I'm new to even looking at RO, so I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything significant here. In the past I've just ran city water from a RV hose through a carbon activated 10" filter at a low (.25gpm-ish) rate and hoped for the best. I'm trying to get a little more serious with water, but the city supply is rather variable so RO seems like it gets me much closer to a comparatively consistent state.
If I understand RO, the one I'm looking at is just 3 filters/stages, an input, output and wastewater drain and somewhere in the neighborhood of 6.25 GPH. Can I just otherwise treat it like I do my 10" charcoal filter?
