Looking on the web I find RO filters waste about three times the amount to get the useable water needed, going through all this I came across UF filter. I can't find anything on the web about RO vs UF. By what I'm reading both are grate and do a very effective job. Will a UF filter do the job I need it to do for my saltwater tank and get the bad guys out of my tap water, I would hate to waste all that water any thought or experience with both filters would help thanks
 
Having tried an alternative filtration system (Kold-Steril) for the exact same reason, I can tell you that I wish I had listened to everyone who told me not to do it and to use a RODI system. I ended up with some major PO4 issues that it took a long time and a lot of GFO to overcome. I recommend going with RODI...based on my own bad experience. I would also suggest that there are lots of ways to use the waste water. I have my waste going into my washing machine so I can do the laundry with it. :) No water gets wasted in my house! :xd: HTH
