Default Is Dechlorinator required with RO Filtration?
Just wondering if you should be dechlorinating RO water or does the filtration take it out?

+1 with Hillegom, carbon will remove residual chlorine in the water.

If the carbon filter gets exhausted, then the chlorine will eat the membrane (which is considerably more expensive then the carbon filter).
