RO/DI question

[Stusdesktop]

So probably a dumb question but one I need to ask anyway

Is there a good local source for RO/DI water in the Rochester area ?

I'm kind of figuring at 10% weekly changes I'm only going to need 3 gallons a week and rather than buy a cheap system right away I'll save the pennies for a good one down the line. Picking a jug up from somewhere close(ish) would seem to make more sense to begin with.

Several of the LFS sell RO water...I would say it would depend on where you're located.

CF for sure has it available all the time.

They have 7 gallon water tubs for around 10$ at Walmart. They're blue and are specifically for water. I have two and get them filled at CF whenever I go. It costs $10.50 for 14 gallons (I think).

I meant to say, depending on where you lived, would determine WHICH LFS to use lol. Before I got my unit, I got all of my water from ABC Pets in Fairport...it was a very fair price for sure.

Thanks for the info all, CF is about 5 minutes away and ABC is no more than 15

buying water from a lfs is not a bad thing. imo water quality,and chemistry are core concepts in this hobby. one thing i did right was to buy a ro/unit ,and a refractometer in the begining.
