I didn't buy one initially.
Instead I bought tap water conditioner and left the water sit out before using.
And we bought a brita water filter for drinking water.
So I spent $40-60....and now I went bought an ro/di unit for $110 off ebay.
Its better water with higher initial cost, but compared to how much everything else costs, its not very much money.
And the drinking water tastes better than brita's.
Do it right from the get go in my opinion. And you can justify to the misses about how much better the ro/di water is for drinking.
I got a friend at health food store, he changed his whole house to ro water. Some people in the health industry believe that chlorine even in small amounts has negative effects on our bodies. If it kills the fish, its safe to reason thats its not the best for us either.
Anyways my two cents.
Now I don't have as much water sitting around in buckets.
