RO water safe to drink?

[Tripod1404]

You can drink it and its safe. You would probably not like the tastes, it basically tastes like nothing. Without minerals and ions in it, it has no taste and most people find that unpleasant because it feels like you are drinking your own spit (especially if it is warm or at RT).

It wont be dangerous unless you drink a lot of it and dilute the sodium ion concentration in your body (known as hyponatremia). Even than you need to have some ion deficiency and drink like 2-3 gallons of water in few hours.

Its removing all the minerals,etc... that make people like coffee..

Affirmative. I was adding back minerals for a while as you mentioned earlier, but find a simple Britta filter works best for my coffee prep.

If you are NOT drinking filtered water, then YOU are the filter!

There you go.. For those that don't like the "pure" lack of taste add that and for $50 a year you can enjoy the mineral taste.

I'd rather just throw a few slices of ginger into my RO water or a tsp of lemon juice here and there..
Oh who am I kidding.. I only drink beer.. Lots of it

You beat me to it . I only drink diuretics, coffee in the morning, beer in the evening. I am in a constant state of dehydration.
