I have RO setup as follows
Purtrex 5 Micron Sediment Filter
Packed Catalytic Carbon Cartridge
Pentek ChlorPlus 10 Carbon Block
75 GPD Dow Filmtec Membrane

i noticed on the refill LABEL on the Catalytic Carbon it sates: "May be harmful if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin....."

my question is the RO water using the "Catalytic Carbon" cartridge/sage safe for HUMAN CONSUMPTION and ingestion for the human body??
 
I believe its the carbon itself that will hurt you, not the water that passes through it. All your RO is doing is forcing water through it to remove impurities.

yea u are right and after doing more research today and reading and calling places i have found out that it is fine to drink RO ( reverse osmosis) water filtered with catalytic carbon. From what i understand there are no "side effects or negative long term effects"
