I use tap water, but the ice is from a dedicated ice maker, I swear that is the best ice you can ever have ever. In your life. It's a Kitchen Aid, it circulates water over a cooled plate, demineralizing the water/ice, its the bomb.

Where does the waste water go?
 
Tap water. Considering a filter, though. The building is kind of old and the water has a bit of a metallic taste (I let the tap run for a bit before I put a glass under it so hopefully I'm not drinking too much lead). 😛
 
I use a brita filter, but now it's mostly for the taste, especially since Philadelphia tap water tastes horrible compared to the stuff we have at home. Brita helps take the edge off it a bit.

I kinda wondered that too. I have a well. The runoff from the RO goes to an ejection sump pump. That goes back into my yard. Which ultimate finds it's way back to my well. How is that wasted?
 
We just had a similar thread a couple of weeks back IIRC...



BUT, I'm partial to the wet kind, followed closely by the clean kind, and whenever possible, I like the filtered kind too.

And what better filter is there than the human kidney?

While the human kidneys are indeed wonder filters...I prefer my water (the wet, clean kind) filtered before it goes into be processed.

I'm an RO guy myself, even though it wastes water.

Only Koreans have RO filters!
 
It's funny watching the votes. It's a lesson in the power of marketing and winning the battle in the consumer's mind. People are stupid, use this to your advantage.
 
Considering that the tap water we have where i live, when i'm home, is exceptionally good (just like in most of Europe, except Spain and Italy) that is what i drink.

Would i drink US tap water... probably not.
 
Tap with no filter.

The building plumbing is probably real old and there is possible nastyness about TCE or something in the town I live in but oh well.

It does taste fine to me and it isn't full of particles or anything like that.
