After all connections are tight, turn the water back on. Slowly. You’ll hear gurgling. The tank is filling. This takes hours, not minutes. Go watch a movie. Seriously. Patience is the secret ingredient.
Then comes the flush. The first water from the faucet tastes like plastic. Don’t drink it. Let it run for 10 minutes to clean the system. After that? Fill a glass. Take a sip. That’s the purest water you’ve ever had. You did that.
Weird Warning: It’s Too Clean
Reverse osmosis water is so pure it can be aggressive. It wants minerals. If you leave it in a metal cup overnight, it might pick up a metallic taste. Use glass. Or better yet, add a pinch of salt or a mineral drop for taste.
Your body loves minerals. RO water strips them. So don’t just drink it all day. Eat your veggies. Or use this water for coffee. The flavor boost is insane.
