Warboz Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 I can't get RO from my local fish store because they say their lines are too cold for water to move through it, is my best bet to get distilled water or spring water or what? Thanks. Link to comment
Korbin Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Distilled. Its basically evaporated water recondensed. Spring water comes from who-knows-where, and contains who-knows-what. Link to comment
hameen40 Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 you can buy water that is purified by RO in grocery stores and places like walmart. Read the labels on purified water. Some say purified by RO, you can use this. It's a little more expensive than getting it from a LFS. Link to comment
Warboz Posted January 16, 2004 Author Share Posted January 16, 2004 Ok thanks guys, I got a gallon of distilled for top offs right now, but I'll check out that RO bottled until my LFS has theirs again. Link to comment
kweckstrom Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 "Great Bear Purified Water" is what I use. It's 89 cents a gallon, and says on the label "Purified by reverse osmosis". Link to comment
bri7795 Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 For my 20 Gallon Nano. I use the Wal-Mart distilled with the purple cap. It .58 cents a gallon and really good water. When you do go to Wal-Mart ask a stock person to get you a case from the back. Its $3.48 a case which should last a 7G a month or more. Thats not too bad. Link to comment
bobbyb323 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 A lot of local supermarkets around here in NH have an RO water dispenser. I fill up several 5 gallon buckets at $.25 per gallon. Wal-Mart water has 387 ppm undisovled solvents while RO water has 3ppm. Link to comment
Cellenzweig Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 A lot of Wal-Marts now have Culligan RO machines (with UV steralizer), as well as bottled water. Colin Link to comment
