Default LF: RODI water supply in Calgary

Does anyone know where I can find bulk RODI water? Safeway? Coop? Or preferably some home delivery company

Safeway yes, Coop, yes ... etc.

Or just buy your own RO/DI unit! http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/brs-4-...tem-75gpd.html

Yap will buy that when I move to new place but for the next 2 months, I have to resort to buying water

Just on a site note, instead of BRS unit, this unit looks more promising for a fraction of cost. What do you think?

I guess 4/5 is technically a fraction :-)

But yes that's OK unit.

From my experience, you are going to get tired of lugging jugs back and forth to a store....I did this for a while then bought an RO unit. You always have emergency water available, where a store may be closed. They are super easy to tie in and remove when required. Had mine under the kitchen sink for the first 6 months, then moved it to the basement. Get one, you'll be happy you did.

the di resin works much better in a vertical cartridge in a reg 10" housing. It's much more likely to form channels laying on its side and then you don't get adequate exposure to all the resin.

i just run a single sediment, single caron, ro then di. my media lasts forever i think having so many stages is overkill at least for me.
