RO water supply

[Jim Cannon]

I really don't want to get an RO system for a 12G fish tank.
If you buy it, where do you get it. We have 'Water & Ice' retail stores here, is that the same?

What do you experienced guys do if you don't have an RO system?

Thanks again

Jim

I got tired of going to the LFS with gas jugs and picking up RO water... I have been filling 5 gallon jugs for close to 5 years.... Recently I purchased an RO/DI unit from www.purelyh2o.com ... now I jsut have to walk to my laundry room and fill a cup with water... so much easier... hehehee...

I hear that they waste 4 gallons to get one. is that your experience?

 

[mister crabs]

depends on the unit and the psi level you have coming out of your faucet. higher pressure means faster water purification but also means more waste

 

[Jester]

they do waste some water, but I normally jsut fill my washer or something else around the house with the waste water... that way I'm not really wasting the water...

So...................no one sells RO water? Or anything close to it?

Publix has it. Just look at the fine print on all their different types. As the source, some say "Municipal Source" and others says "Reverse Osmosis".

Last time I was there it was .89/Gal.
