Water for Water Changes
 
Hey guys,

Im just wondering what water do u guys use for your water changes?
Do you use the polaris water from the water machines(water stations) or do you use tapwater??

Do you know a place where I can get cheap jugs of demineralized water, lemme know, thanks.

Oh yeah, I am currently using the polaris water.

I use RO from my home unit....soon to be adding a DI filter as well

i think most people use water from an ro/di unit. if you use any quantity of water it's probably the most economical way to go.

I use ro/di also. I used to use tap water here in Calgary also without negative results. :biggrin:

tap water all the way, all I get is some hair algae in the winter time, but come spring it goes away...

Tap water. :biggrin:

Used to use DI, but, stopped a couple of years ago.

Straight from the tap. Haven't had any algae blooms or nuisance algae grow.

Been on Vancouver/Burnaby tapwater for a while, but switching over to RO/DI water to help stop the hair algae that used to pop up with tap.
