I am planning to soften my water for all round benifit in the home.
I also want to purify my drinking water through a reverse osmosis system.
Can these 2 things be used together or can only 1 system be used?
If they can be used together can a reverse osmosis system purify softened water safely for drinking?
Short answer is Yes
You can use the RO to filter the softened water. A decent RO system will also have pre and post filters.
A 5 to 10 micron prefilter protects the RO filter membrane from being plugged up by particulate matter in the water. An activated carbon post filter improves taste and polishes the RO water.
Treated RO water is then stored in a small accumulator (pressure tank with a bladder in it) .
Treating water with an RO filter tacks some time and uses water in roughly a 5:1 ratio. Send 5 gallons of water to the RO to get 1 gallon of treated water the remaining water is then sent to a drain.
As a result you use RO water for drinking and maybe supplying water to an Ice maker. The unit will treat a gallon or two and store it for use once the accumulator is topped off the RO unit stops treating water. So no water is used when the RO is in standby.

If the Tank on the reverse osmosis system loses pressure, and there is very little or no output to the tap, can the tank be re-pressurised or is it a case of replacement.
If this system is attached to public warter system (Not a well) you may need to get a pump attached to increase the pressure

Okay so we need a semipermeable membrane, and some means to produce pressure of 24.5 atmospheres (actually 101.5 for a reasonable rate of freshwater production) so thats 103,000,000. dynes/cm^2. Apart from that just salt water.

as we are not there at the moment , how can we give instructions to someone to do it in our absence ?
My OH always did this and I have no instructions here or anywhere.
Help,
There should be a water line under the sink with a valve going to the filter system. Turn this valve off. Then open the faucet in the sink, until no more water comes out. There should be about 2 to 3 gallons in the large tank under the sink. This will drain most of the water, but it won't completely drain the tank. Without knowing the brand, that is as detailed as iI can be. Good luck!
I just changed the filters in my reverse osmosis filtration system. The instructions say to run the water for 24 hours. This seems excessive with the drought. Do I really need to let the water run for that long?
Is there carbon in the filters? Do they put things in filters that we shou;dnt be consuming and how do we know it is all out after 3 tanks?
Over the next 24 hours, you will need to fill the tank and emply it at least 3 times. It is done that way to get the carbon out.

Looking for more information on reverse osmosis water filter systems? Sometimes water just tastes terrible. There is nothing worse than coming in from a hot day of mowing the yard, or running around the neighborhood to keep in shape to be rewarded with a tall glass of iced pool water. City water is chemically treated to make it safe for the consumer however the additives leave a funny after taste in many people’s mouth. Worse yet is that good ole well water that you remember from your grandma’s farm. When you go to put in your own well you hit a sulfur pocket and for the rest of you time that you live in that house things smell and taste like rotten eggs.
Now you could remedy these problems by stocking up on bottled water, but let’s face it the cost alone is worth gawking at and- with the ever growing concern for being green - those bottles pile up in landfills never to breakdown. What alternative is there to these problems if the solution isn’t bottled water?

General Drinking Water Purification Methods
People these days are taking steps to improve the quality of their drinking water. Most people know they ought to do something to purify the water. But with all the numerous water purification alternatives available there is also much confusion about what what to do. There are many different types of water purification systems that are normally used in homes to supply families with drinking water. Each has advantages and some have significant disadvantages. A common type of water purification is the use of a filtration system. Many water filter systems use charcoal, activated silver and fine mesh to get rid of chemicals and particles from the water and kill bacteria. Filtration does not remove everything from the water, and what remains with the water is determined in part by the size of the holes in the filtration mesh. Another type of water refinement is distillation which results in water that is practically void of impurities. In fact, distillation is void of just about everything whether bad like chlorine or good like minerals. A purification process called reverse osmosis is often used in households to produce a water free of contaminants and it also produces water that is free of minerals.
