RO water alternatives

My RO setup will be down for a couple weeks. What is my next-best-thing alternative for doing water changes in the meantime?

 

Get some gas cans or buckets and store some or buy some .. Not sure where you hunk of Ct is ? but if you need ? I'll loan you a 45 gal barrel to store it in or get some water . Wethersfield is where we are loacted

 

API tap water filter,( carbon&DI filter),

i use this all the time, i dont have an ro yet, will filter out everything that an ro does, but not nearly as cost efficient.

 

It's too late to store it, my RO is already out of service. I was just wondering if any of the bottled water choices (like distilled) from the store would be any good.

 

In the bottled water sections of many store there are bottles labeled drinking water , Not spring read the label it will say reverse osmoses and U/V or Ozoned for puirty get one and test it for po4 and such all are not the same. The grocery store Foodlion in Va had good quality water and it was totaly different then the water from the Win Dixie water.. But you can give it a try..

 

Interesting...thanks, I'll give it a try.

 

Most local fish stores will sell you RO/DI water if you bring your own container.
