This one is a permanent mount. One could mount to a plywood board for portability - frame just fits over two properly-placed screws. The other things that would be needed would be a container to run the RO water into (trash can works fine)and a pump to put the water where you want it. (submersible pumps are quite inexpensive) Effluent can either be captured or put down the drain. I run mine pretty hard - in summer, utilize as much as 40 gallons RO water a day, which would then produce about 80 gallons of effluent. I capture the effluent and pump it onto the front lawn (But then, my city water isn't all that bad, ranging from 200-350 ppm TDS on most days, so increasing the TDS by 50% it's still fine for plants that grow in the soil. )If you make less RO, wasting the effluent is less troubling
