RO/DI Help

[vlapinta]

I am new to SW and have been looking into RO/DI units because I have been buying RO/DI water. I have a 6 gallon nano, a 12 gallon nano and a 30 gallon tank. I probably use @ 55 gallons a week for water changes and top off.
I was not aware at first that these units make 1 gallon of good water to every 3 gallons of waste water. I have been paying @65 cents per gallon for the water. I also pay for my water in my home. Do you think it is worth the money for a RO/DI unit? I ahve been looking into a few that I can also have a valve put in to get drinking water from and it would cost me @ $200 complete. Any input or suggestions are appreciated because I might be missing something as I have really no clue about these units except that they make good water!!
Thanks,
Vicki

It is worth the money believe me. Not only does it save the trips to the store, you are in control of the water quality. You are at the mercy of the water vendor otherwise and normally its not DI only RO.
Talk to Bryan at www.purelyh2o.com, Bryan at www.airwaterice.com, Russ at www.buckeyefieldsupply.com or www.thefilterguys.biz for good units at good prices.

Saving trips to the store is priceless! Actually i guess you could really figure out the gas, time, and water cost, but lets not go there.
