RO/DI Water

[quote author=Nautilus link=board=General;num=1085673993;start=15#23 date=05/28/04 at 15:10:55]4 gallons of waste to 1 gallon produced depending on the water pressure.[/quote] depending on temperature, pressure and age of filters (maintance as well).

 

No Flip Flopping here, as you just stated there is no data supporting the statement that it is OK to drink just as there is no data stating that it is not. You Said that it will slowly kill you!!!! My Question is What Data do you have to back up your statement? As it is a pretty strong statement.

 

If you or anybody else has data that proves that RO/DI water will kill you please post it as I would defiantly stop using it for drinking water. As I am sure everyone else that it using it would do the same. Please enlighten us all

 

Thanks for the info on waste amounts. What an interesting way to go..."He was killed by pure drinking water"... Some what like the Salt Beast in Star Trek that sucked all the minerals out of your body. You guys are right, the subject is endless.. [smiley=lol.gif]

 

I hafta agree with John and Fletch a few posts ago.....no more dangerous water.
I am stickin with the BEER :

 

karma to birdlady ... women that like beer are ok in my book

 

I'm with you Birdlady [smiley=beer.gif] Like I said I think this thread has the potential to get very ugly [smiley=argue.gif]

The many quotes I post seem to be clear and I thought that I made it clear at least to me it sounded clear. I also said IMO somewhere..

Your body is not getting the minerals or vitamins needed... would this not slowly kill? as anything alot of one thing is bad for you. Re-read some of the post about the resin in the DI. If they don't convince you then as I said before you learn what you want to learn and your mind is made up and no one can change that. If you don't think this will do this then that is fine. show me where it states that it is OK to drink it and I may change my mind as I am OPEN to learning something new. "Common sense" to me at least would play a factor here. Hospitals don't even give you DI water. Companies don't bottle it so what makes you think it is OK to drink it?

Sorry Aquafina is only "RO water" mister says so right on the bottle.. no bottle water company processes ro/DI water for human consumption.

Reading 0?
You not using the TDS on salt water are you? This will ruin the TDS meter.
TDS meters are only for tap water or for produced ro/di water testing.
