I believe that is the fancy equipment. It mounts under ur sink and converts your tap water into reverse osmosis water.

Soooo.... is it ok for humans to drink that water full-time??

Yep! Essentially all it's doing is just removing the impurities from the water source.

So... with reverse osmosis water, then there will be much less or no buildup in the mistking?? Is that correct? (Just want to get this straight)

Yea true I've heard people using these as well. They even have brita filters that will go over a faucet on your sink. Your mostly aiming to remove hard deposits and impurities from the water, that's what causes build up in the misting systems. And also cause the white patches of build up on plants over time.
With the RO there is no build up at all.

I don't believe so, essentially it's a glorified brita filter. Your sink hose line will go into one end and then a new end attaches to your sink.

Ok, those are pricey, but I mean at least I can afford a reverse osmosis system...

Brita filters are cheap deionizing filters. They have an ion exchange resin that removes ions like Calcium and fluoride out of the water and usually have some sort of filtration that takes out particles larger than a certain size
reverse osmosis filters uses a special membrane that relies on pressure to “push” filtered water through the membrane while the “impurities” stay on the pressurized side. The household versions waste a lot of water, 5-8 gallons wasted for every clean gallon produced.
they both remove the calcium carbonate that clogs up misters. The home units can be pretty easily attached to most pressurized water sources

This was the best choice for me, but they have a whole line of grow lights.

Some people are just buying reverse osmosis water (like they would buy distilled water); it's allegedly less expensive than distilled, but you might still have the plastic to deal with unless some vendors use reusable containers.

As with most things, there are at least 2 sides to every issue.
There's good and bad to using reverse osmosis water systems

That is exactly what happened to me and my mom.
I have the monsoon solo But I am looking to get a misting it is a little expensive though wich is why it is taking so long for me to get it.
