    A grocery store close to my house got a new culligan water system in and water is only 37 cents a gallon. It says it's RO DI water and was wondering if anybody else uses this water?

    I have used it many times- never a problem, just make sure the system is regularly maintained- looks at it's maintenance chart. Should be every week or so.

    If it's suppose to be drinking water it shouldn't be RO/DI.

    RO is good for drinking but de-ionized water is stripped of the nessasary elements and minerals to properly hydrate the body.It wouldn't hurt a thing to drink a glass of ro/di,just not recommended to drink full time.
