That means if you properly maintain your RO/DI unit, the water you produce will be superior to the water you buy at the grocery store. And last but not least, it just sucks to carry those jugs around: water is heavy. 
The only reason I suggested to watch out for rejection rates is, well, 1) it's kind of interesting and thought you might find it interesting too, and 2) You will indeed notice a difference in the depletion rates of your DI resins if you go from one to another. It might not be so much a cost factor but the inconvenience factor of having to replace that stuff every so often.
Hope this helps! |
Thanks for the information. Definitely useful

LOL. I am too young to fit in the scene
Its really not about the cost. I always try to give the best "I can afford" to my fish even if that means to not buy a nice shirt for a change (my fishes "wear" more brand stuffs than me
). I get my scholarship, I go buy something for my fish instead of something for me
But this month has been horrible for me in terms of the tank (you might already be aware of that through my several "complaining" posts). Burnt skimmer, burnt reactor pump, dead fishes, foods + selcon, dead corals.....sometimes, its a bit harsh for me on my small amount I get as scholarship
And this hobby is not very "rental" friendly and with RODI...ummm....yah...just adds another "layer" to that
