I'm really not in a big hurry (even though i am ) to cycle the tank. Ive got time. Seems to me, like I said earlier, how can .69-.79cents a gallon @ the lfs beat $15.00bucks for 50gal? Im not that worried about the cost or spending the $$$. RO/DI unit soon to come though. Ok got to go to work Thank you all for your input! db
You're lucky if thats your water price. Like gasoline, water has doubled it's cost here.
On the subject of RO, how much has your water (bill) consumption gone up? Just curious. Isn't there a lot of waste with that? Like 100 to 1 gallon? Maybe I don't understand the process. But you do have to pay for all of whatever comes out of the pipes not just the "good" water right? What is the ratio of good water to what goes down the tubes? Anyone?

I have the Kent Maxxima, and it says 3:1 wasted to filtered.
I have a 135, a 20, and a 10 all running right now. I had to top off much more during the winter, and I think the total difference in my water bill (including all sewer fees, taxes, etc) went up about 30% (from $24 to $31).
That's the most I've seen mine go up, and you have to consider that we drink about 1.5 gallons a day of the filtered water ourselves too. Actually, I think we're drinking more than I'm topping off (but still much less than water changes of course)
