Default RODI Water Sources Calgary

I have been wondering what the best & cheapest source for RODI water in Calgary is. I would be buying it by the 5G bottle.

Any thoughts?

Personnaly I would just buy a RO or RODI unit, over time this is your easiest and cheapest method.

I personally only run RO, and got my unit for $150, it has paid for itself easily by making things alot easier and of course not having to buy the water.

I bought water from aquasource, but when I found out how much I spending a month and how much I was going to spend I bought an RO/DI filter.

The long term plan is to get a Rodi unit. For the time being I will only have a 6G nano, a 12G Nano, and a 25G tank.

Water changes arent that bad so water will be about $7-$8 per week until I find a unit.
