- You should check these units again.

- You will probalbly find that they are NOT reverse osmosis units.

- They sound like simple mechanical and chemical (carbon) filters that
- are frequently sold to improve drinking water quality. There are a number
- of makes of these units (Canadian Tire, WaterPic, etc) and while they may
- serve their intended purpose well, they are not likely to meet your
- requirements.
