You need to backflush a watermaker with fresh water to clean it out after making water. So you do recieve water from the tanks for this purpose. That is way Spectra includes a filter to remove the clorine/bleach before it enters the system for back flushing. However, I'd rather not depend on the filter to keep clorine out. We also place some of our RO water in plastic jugs just for drinking so we are not drinking out of the tanks. Still would like to keep the tanks clear without using harsh chemicals.
