The New Merlin™
Reverse Osmosis System
The
new Merlin™
tankless reverse
osmosis (RO) system by GE Osmonics should be available
soon. As of this date we have yet to hear from them as to
availability or even cost, but we are told that they will
be here soon.
This
revolutionary new design in reverse osmosis products promises
to change the way we realize home water purification systems.
It is capable of producing 1080 gallons of purified water
per day without the need of a holding tank. Even though
the Merlin is larger than any RO system we have ever seen,
it still saves space over a regular RO with a holding tank.
| The
Merlin RO does not store any purified water greatly
reducing the risk of bacterial infection in a holding
tank. It treats a half gallon of water per minute as
you draw it from your faucet and requires only 40psi
of supply line pressure, pretty much eliminating the
need for a booster pump in nearly all situations. And
because the water is processed on the fly, the water
comes out cool and refreshing, eliminating the need
for a cooling device. No tank, no booster pump and no
cooler plus 1080 gallons per day makes this system the
next evolution in commercial and home water purification.

80%
of the reverse osmosis systems we install in our area get
connected to a refrigerator/ice maker and require a tee
in the product output line. The Merlin
RO is already set up with 3 extra product water outputs.
The system can handle up to 10 grains-per-gallons of hardness
and 1.0ppm of chlorine, so most water systems would still
require an ion
exchange softener installed before using this system.
The Merlin
RO would be a perfect choice for aquarium owners as
well.
This
product should be available to us for online sale any day
now. We do not have a specific cost list for this system
as yet, but I'm told it will sell for around $900 to $1100,
nearly 3 times as much as a generic reverse osmosis system,
but most certainly worth the extra investment based on its
output and flexibility alone.
