When we travel to visit kids etc. we have to buy gallons of good water. I can't even boil pasta or potatoes in our tap water, I can't stand the taste.
We have the RO unit hooked up to our freezer ice maker and fridge water dispenser, and a tap on our sink as well
Maintenance on the RO unit isn't bad...new filters every 6 months, and we take the tank in once a year to have it sanitized and re-pressurized.
I can't chew ice...it kills my teeth, and isn't good for them either according to my dentist. Hubby chews ice sometimes, but he likes smoothies too. I can't stand them.

It's an anemic thing. Look up PICA. For us who are anemic it really helps. There's nothing wrong chewing soft ice. It's like anything else you chew but you don't get cavities.
Hard ice could hurt your teeth. The ice that fast food makes is soft, melts quickly.
