Is drinking RO/DI safe. It all depends who you ask. There are many arguments for both sides. Some people say that drinking di water will cause osmotic shock, which is where the water is so pure that it starts stripping important minerals from your own cells in the body. From what I have read and been told, there are only a few cases of this being true. One of the other arguments for ro/di water is that is a breeding ground for bacteria and to make the ro system drinkable a uv filter should be used as well. It all depends who u talk to. The company I worked for would never sell a di system for drinking water. They were a four stage system consisting of 1 and 5 micron filters and a carbon. I am no expert but I hear these questions all the time. I do agree about not using bottled water. It is a waste. Buy an ro system.
