Portable RO Water System

[jantigercat]

Hi all!

I’d like to ask if a portable RO Water System is available out there to buy. I used to water my orchids using distilled water. It wasn’t a problem then because I owned a few orchids. As my collection grew to over 20 (with Masdevallias), I switched to using Zero Water filter. It did work in getting the PPM level to almost zero. But it after three weeks it loses it potency to filter water (the PPM level in my city is around 300PM or more). :-( So using Zero Water and changing every three weeks is very uneconomical.

Thank you!

This one https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Reve.../dp/B01MSVRVAH is in the US, but I am sure that something similar is available in Germany.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I ordered a portable RO System and it works great. The assembly was a bit confusing, but I got a hold of it.

From 400PM the water coming out from the system became 8-11PPM.

The filter costs less as what I would pay for Zero Water Filters.
