    Best thing to do would be look for another FS. or possibly find someone who has a Filter you could get water from.

    Call them. The one up the road from me has it, but i work at another store that has it. Look for a local reef club. and see if someone has a filter, or knows where one is.

    might want to check your local winn-dixie,walmart etc.. some have ro/di vending machines, but hope there machines are serviced regularly. other option is to go by 1 or 5g jugs of distilled water..

    when you goto the store you'll usally see 3 different water jug types.
    i.e. drinking,spring,and distilled. distilled is when they boil the water and collect the vapors.. and bottle that. its not as good as ro/di but will be your next best option.

    Nope, it's actually the dirtiest along with spring water. Water has no flavor without trace minerals. Those minerals get removed when you distill water.
