Michael.

I have no experience with the Kent system, but I do have an RO unit. If it comes with a faucet attachment, then you'll just need to unscrew the aerator (meshing that makes the water come out with bubbles in it) and screw in the RO unit.

All RO systems produce waste water...All. Usually about 3 parts wasted for every 1 part purified. That's as good as they get for now.
