you are supposed to use RO if you use the addback, but I dont do well with rules...

BTW those mr. clean filters are IIRC just a resin canister to di-ionize the water so it sheets off the cars paint,have you tried to PH or PPM it yet?
My 6 stage R/O has 2 of those for water polishing after the filtering process to make the 4 stages go to zero PPM,used mostly for aquariums(no final carbon filter used for the drinking system).
Ide bet if you hook up a $20.00 home depot inlinecarbon filter to that mr clean you would get some good water.
My monster 100 GPD 6 stage system is great and built solid and for #125.00 well worth it...one VERY quality unit and it comes with a gauge and all the line and fittings too.
