Is it better to get RO-DI from my supermarket or from the FLS any suggestions?

IMO, if you add up the cost of RO/DI water, buying a home unit starts to make more sense. To me, its really the best way to make sure the filter cartridges, etc. are maintained.

Just buy a RO/DI unit...it'll pay for itself in no time and you won't have to make a trip to buy water.
I got mine brand new, never used off Craigslist for 33% off the new price...just screw the water inlet onto a faucet and put the waste line in the sink drain...easy.

I agree. You can buy a quality RO/DI from www.thefilterguys.biz for around 160 bucks.

If you buy from a supermarket, get distilled water. Bottled RO water is normally for drinking and has minerals added in for taste.
If you buy from a LFS have them test the TDS in your presence every time so you know what you are getting, LFS are notorious for poor maintenance of their RO systems since it is not a money maker for them in most cases. There are always excepions but this seems to be the case most of the time.
Having your own RO/DI is by far the best choice, that way you alone are in control of the water quality.
