R/O water from the grocery

Good change!!

Sorry to take of this post....back to everyones thoughts on Grocery water!!

 

To add to the question..

So the local food place here has these to choose from.

Spring water
RO water with some fancy other filtration
DI with the same fancy filtration
Not sure why the water isnt just RO/DI. They sell the DI as purifyed water and the RO as cleaner drinking water.

So whats the difference here, I dunno

I guess if I had to choose for the fish I would pick the DI water. About .75 per gallon.


\Cheers

 

Any site that takes me more than six clicks to find what I am looking for usually gets trashed..

I did finally find this

"
Purified Water - Water that has been produced by distillation, deionization, reverse osmosis or other suitable processes while meeting the definition of purified water in the United States Pharmacopoeia may be labeled as purified bottled water. Other suitable product names for bottled water treated by one of the above processes may include "distilled water" if it is produced by distillation, deionized water" if it is produced by deionization or "reverse osmosis water" if the process used is reverse osmosis. Alternatively, "[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]___ drinking water" can be used with the blank being filled in with one of the terms defined in this paragraph (e.g., "purified drinking water" or "distilled drinking water").[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"[/FONT]

So in my case,, I think they are saying they are the same.


Thanks for the link

 

Yes, but back to the age old question.
What is better, Tap, Well, or this store bought bottled water ?

You can't always tell someone to go out and install an RO unit. To some it is very costly, or too much to take on to install.

It should allways be what is best, yes, but if that doesn't jive, it should be what is better.

So what is better, Tap, Well, or this store bought bottled water ?

 

I would agree.
Except that if you cannot install the RO unit yourself, well then you are Screwed. My first unit installed was over one large. Way too crazy for a dvice that only retails for 150.00. But if you cant do it, you bend over and get it installed. Makes me wish I went into a trade..

When I buy the new Typhoon, I am going to attempt to plumb it in as the original is installed.

I bet it leaks..

 

If I install it, it will.
