*RO system* Need quick help!

3 years ago
last modified: 3 years ago

Our counters were installed and bc I did not have the faucet yet they are coming back tomorrow to drill holes and I’ve realized the new water filter faucet doesn’t work with our RO system. Our RO system has three hoses and this faucet seems to only have space for ONE hose. It is the Kraus Purita (linked below). I’m pretty sure it said it was RO compatible and with everything else happening I did not try to hook it up and now I’m sort of scrambling. We are open to a new RO system but it has to remove Uranium and cost $300 or less including the faucet (we have well water with high Uranium at times - we also have a whole house Radon bubbler). I’m so confused! From what I can tell the three hoses mean we have an air gap system (?) but I can’t seem to find any faucets that clearly will work with three hoses. Is anyone willing to break this down in simple terms for me? Or tell me how this Purita faucet might actually work with a 3 hose system? I need a brushed brass faucet and it feels impossible to find, either on its own or with a new system. I have to figure this out today 🫠

Update: well, they came and drilled the holes but I am still not sure what to do for our RO system. I got the above faucet because it said it was 100% lead free. As I understand, RO water is not good for pipes etc... but because this is under the sink and not tied into any pipes should I be concerned about this? Will a remineralization stage make a difference? I read that it doesn't actually do much (I can't recall where I read that). I really am not sure what to do because of our well water situation.
