    I don't trust mt LFS RO water anymore and until my rodi unit comes in I need to buy water. I've seen distilled water and purified water as well. The purified said reverse osmosis and/or distallation for purification. Should I grab the purified or just distilled?

    Always use distilled if you cannot find RO/DI, it is the next best thing. Many purified waters are either RO only or may have things added back to it for taste meaning the TDS will be higher again.

    Thanks az. I will buy distilled then. I wasnt sure if the purified was true RO/DI. I know where my cyano and phosphates have come from, I'm so dissapointed with my LFS.
