Is it possible to make a Reverse Osmosis water filter that doesn't depend on electricity?

Im thinking of constructing an RO water filter in rural areas where there is no source of electricity. I know that reverse osmosis filters require pressure but Is there any cost effective way to to obtain the energy to pressurize water?

Is the hard water let out of an RO machine after tapping good water unusable for irrigation and bathing?

The Reverse Osmosis (RO) unit treats the hard water into potable and waste water, i.e., harder water. It is said that the waste water shall not be used for even for drinking, cooking, washing, rinsing, watering plants and bathing. In short, it is said that it is fit for cleaning the toilets only. But, I am using it for bathing and rinsing of cloths. Is it OK or not?

Is a reverse osmosis GE filtration system worth the extra $100 as oppose to standard 2-stage GE filter kit?

Went to the hardware store today to look at different water filters. I wanted something better than a Britta pitcher, so I was looking at different water filtration system by GE.

There’s a standard 2-stage filter kit (it has two filters) which goes in-line with your cold water. 9

And there’s a 2-stage filter kit with reverse osmosis. 9.

Question is, what’s the difference between the two and is it worth the 0 price difference?

I assume where I live is relevant. So it would be used in Seattle water. Which our water company test our systems (not sure for what) 3 times a day. Better than some water bottling companies.
