💧 Water Notes

I'm not a water treatment engineer. For known contamination or well water concerns, I'll recommend lab testing and refer to a specialist if needed.
RO systems produce waste water — typically 2:1 to 4:1 ratio. We'll factor grey tank capacity into the design so you're not dumping constantly.
UV requires consistent power. If pairing with an off-grid power consult, we'll size your system to handle it. Combo discount applies.
Combined discount: Book water with any connectivity or power consult and take 15% off total hours.
