Can this faucet handle RO water?

If RO water is similar to the stuff that flows from my faucets, then yes. If RO has lumps in it, then I'd suggest pre-filtering with cheese cloth.

Yes. You most likely need a separate 2 output valve. One for your regular faucet and one for the filter.

I would recommend that you only run lines to designated RO faucets and not your regular faucets. The RO holding tank is small and the daily RO rate is probably much smaller than you would run through regular faucets. Some refrigerator ice makers also don't like RO lines because they don't provide enough volume resulting in small ice cubes that tend to clog the chute.The length of the lines doesn't that much affect, it's the available volume of water and its pressure.

Your tankless water heater has nothing to do with a RO water filtration system. The RO is used for cold drinking water or the ice maker only. It is connected to the cold water not the hot water line.

I used it on a Honeywell RO which is an air gap system, i.e. vents back through the faucet. The only problem may be a different line size, which you could use an adapter and section of hose from your local hardware store. It's a really nice faucet, way nicer than my original.

I was going to install RO in my house until I found out that RO water eats copper tubing (which was already installed to the icemaker and remote sink) so I went to a micro filter instead. RO removes so much from water that it is extra corrosive to all types of metals. This I learned from an industrial chemical engineer.

No, System is designed for city water. Or wells with proper prefiltration no more then 300ppm before R/O. Then only good for provided faucet and maybe a ice maker. VERY GOOD SYSTEM IF INSTALLED CORRECTLY.

Not to my knowledge. We are using RO water because our well water is terrible!

Thank you for your inquiry.Yes, it will work. However, for it to be compatible with a reverse osmosis water filtering system, you would need an additional air gap to complete the installation which is not included.Without the air gap, this water dispenser faucets are for cold water use only.Kind Regards!

Yes it can. I don't have the problem myself, but another method would be to reduce the pressure at the shut off valves under your sink. Start turning them down till you have the desired pressure at the faucet.

Not sure, but we have reverse osmosis system and it works fine. It's a really nice faucet, with a single water line.

Sorry, but I can't help you as I didn't go with RO since the house was plumbed with copper tubing to the outlets where we wanted treated water. I found out that RO water is very corrosive to metal pipes and polymer tubing is needed. However, I would guess that 3 hoses would be needed since you are using tap water pressure to force water through a semipermeable membrane to leave minerals and organic matter behind which must be flushed off the membrane to waste. The third hose would be your RO water. (This is theoretical to an old chemists so take if for it may be worth.)

Not sure. If you like the faucet you can contact the manufacturer and I'm sure they would be able to answer all your concerns. Faucet is amazing.

It can handle faucet water directly, but I wouldn't put it on full force mainly because the outflow of it is small and the pressure may be too much depending on how much water pressure you have.

The product is simply chrome plated brass, so as long as it is fresh water, I'd say certainly. I use these on my RO/DI water filtration units with no problems. If on the other hand you were using this for saltwater applications youd want to go with a stainless steel product such as this: http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-Mini-Ball-Valve/dp/B00H9KEVWC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1411783840&sr=8-3&keywords=stainless+steel+mini+ball+valve

It is not designed for that. It does need to connect to the faucet. But with the proper tools, space, and engineuity I suppose you could make it work.

Unfortunately, I cannot say. I did not notice that it would not fit perlick faucets, so I was not able to use it. Theoretically, it should work.
