Many sponsors on this site sell RO/DI units.

You can attach them to your faucet (bathroom or kitchen) inline (permanent) or have a faucet attachment (portable).

Go on one of the vendor sites and check out what they have and some of the sites will explain the filters.

Cheers,
Vic

Thanks for the quick response, I only have a 34 gallon tank in my condo so I don't want to buy the filtration unit, I checked with JL and they don't sell RO water, where else can I just but the RO water?

So supermarkets sell it........ but I would test the water......... you never know how often they change the filters.

for our water you can always get a simple DI unit. With out low TDS the DI will last a long time.

Look like you have just a normal drinking water filter. RO units have the water pass through an RO membrane.

In the super market look for where you get bottled water. They should have a machine that you can fill a container. Make sure it's RO water and not just filtered water.

In the long run you may want to get an RO filter because of the cost of getting the water from the super market. You can get a pretty cheap RO unit for around $120.

Cheers,
Vic

I've been using Vancouver's tap water for quite some time now and I have no algae and my SPS have better colour than when I bought them. I wouldn't worry about an RO/DI to be honest.
