I'd say lets have a race, but I think you would win LOL.


Is it just me, or does it seem that a RO unit slows down after a day? I was filling a bunch of Rubbermaid totes, and the first one was WAY faster than the last.

oh wow... have fun with that. I on the other hand am about 6 buckets away from being done. Even skipped a tee off time this morning to get it done (Dumb). Looking forward to this week to go and do some shopping in old RC.
