Im not sure about Saskatoon but I believe they are using Chlorine gas and carrier water injection....waiting for them to get back to me.....Edmonton uses Sodium Hypochlorite to produce there own mixture which comes out at Approx. 12% solution..... all facililties also use UV disinfection to add to their total log removal which is an Alberta environment regulation which varies according to plant classification.....The filters removal most, if not all, cysts of Crypto and gardia........just to be sure they use the UV at the end of the process to kill any that may get through and also inject final Chlorine solution for distribution. Oh..just found out the Saskatoon uses Chlorine gas. So using the RO water to drink will remove the Chlorine taste and floride if you dont want those...but drinking RO water is exactly what your drinking when you buy a bottle of bottled water unless its marked as spring water or Distilled. RO water is not as harsh as distilled water for depleting minerals in your body from sweating. If you want to help remove Chlorine and bacteria then install a UV sterilizer in front of your RODI to help it....as UV light removes chlorine.
