The rotary pump works just fine if you stick the hose that arrives with the
unit into a gallon bottle of Poland Springs water. You can refill the
latter with water from a Brita pitcher and life goes on without the
elaborate"plumbing in" stuff. If you want to plumb in at some point for
convenience, you will already have a unit ready to do so. But the unit
works just fine, right out of the box.
By the way, according to the SCAA (which has the money to study these sorts
of things), RO water will actually "flatten" the taste of coffee without
the addition of some solids. As I recall, the target TDS was around 70.
The safety switch comment is the only one I would take into consideration
and frankly, I have never heard of anyone running a rotary from a bottle who
has had the problem; you are probably more likely to be killed in an auto
accident than burn up your Brewtus-R. But I doubt that you worry a lot
about that, so don't get too excited about the theoretical possibility that
you might burn out your boiler if you ran the unit from a bottle that you
can see.

... So I see no reason, when already
extending your budget to go for the rotary pump (it will have to be
plumbed in and should also use a reverse osmosis system (adding to the
cost).
When purchasing the unit my supplier clearly stated to
me, unless I really wanted to plumb in the unit not to waste my money
going for the rotary pump.
You can just take a hose and stick it in a container of water with
rotary pump unit but you will get no pre-infusion.
And if you run out of water you could burn the unit. No safety switch.
