nothing wrong at all with drinking RO/DI water. take cruse ships for eg, hell take or navy. we make distilled water wich is the purest form of water and thats what we had to drink for up to 7 months.

another example.. middle east and especialy dubai and the kingdoms around them depend on RO DI for all there drinking water which comes from a huge plant just outside of dubai where sea water is turned into pure water.. no one is having problems from mineral loss there.

lets even go closer to home.. in victoria my tap water was 11ppm and sometimes down to 8ppm. in calgary is is over 400.. do people who live in Victoria have to take more suplements than people in calgary?

this is all silly talk, wives tales.. ect call it what you will by people who just don't know any better and have to say something to put down a purchase some one made that they don't think they needed. it has popped up several times over the last 10 years and it realy suprises me that people still think that way.

now do I drink DI.. no.. I tap off befor my DI filter for filling my water cooler jugs.. why.... I have 0 ppm out of the ro filter why waist my DI canister thats 50 bucks to replace.... so I use it for fish stuff only. would I drink it.. heck ya.. I did for 2 years till I found out how much it increased the depleation of the DI cartrage....... so for me its a cost thing.
