I'll drink Phoenix and San Diego county mud any day of the week over NYC water.The membranes are very expensive for the true RO performance. Even with prefilters I'm surprised you get a year out of one. I forget one of the few really good things in NY is the tapwater. What you have coming out of the tap without filtration would barely be a step above drinking mud.
I've been to the reclamation refineries.
