I'm using RO water, but it's not RODI. We buy it at work and it's ozonized ( I asked questions about this earlier and it seemed like it wouldn't be a problem ).
Hydrometers can read 1.024 but actually be 1.028 so better to keep it a bit on the low side untill you buy a refractometer they are a lot more accurate.
