I just finished moving and haven't installed my ro/di unit yet, to make matters worse I can't find where the heck I packed the filters. I need some reliable top-off water asap since the tank's running low, anyone know of an LFS or water purification place locally that has consistent 0 TDS water? I need about 5 gallons to hold me over...
 
the way I understand it, distilled waters can't have any metal or traces of any minerals...
test it with a meter?
I could bring a bucket of ro/di (from water store) to you + cash, if you got some small corals etc to trade

I have nass snails, peppermint trying to rid of too
 
Thanks for the offer, but is there a reliable water store in my area? I've been to a few before in the south bay that had 40-60 tds "ro di" water, so I'm kind of skeptical :)
 
The ralphs has 0 TDS water dispensers (RO/DI). At least mine did. Compared with my RO water at home which has 8 tds.
 
i would doubt that those ralphs filters are zero tds? did you check it? drinking water is supposed to have some minerals in it for you which is why we dont drink distilled...

and although i think those machines are okay in a pinch or maybe 'just starting out', i think the op wanted zero...

i think anything better then regular unfiltered water is good, but depending on the system and the contents and all the other factors, i can totally understand why folks want zero tds... and if you ahve a filter and paid good money for it and take care of it like it is supposed to, then i can completely understand expecting zero out of that as well...

but either way, it sounds like the op is satisfied... I would like to know if it really is zero though for future reference...

thanks

tds was spot on at 0 actually :)

On the front of the machine it has a diagram of the filters, I think it was a sediment filter, then carbon, then ro membrane, then carbon again and a uv light.
 
My ralphs reads 0. It costs 20 cents in mine. I used to get 10-15 gallons at a time when I first started 2 years back.

Now, I have a RO unit at home that reads 8ish. I'm too lazy to get to ralphs so I just fill up at home.
