We never drink or cook with well water. Only for laundry (white's will yellow fast), showers, toilets and dishes. Water can change overnight depending on what's happening a few miles away. Not worth taking the chance with your health. We had alot of stomach problems with the kids until we finally figured out it was the water.

Mine sounds similar to yours. I wouldn't use it in a salt tank without running it through the ro system. I have used my tap water in my freshie tanks without any trouble, but never tried it in my salt tanks.

All the water coming into our house passes through a massive ro/di then is stored in a pressurised holding tank,the system is currentlly down at the moment and the supply water is bypassing the ro/di. Problem is the pump guy wont be out for a week and my fish are starting to look very unhappy.
I'll have to go buy some bottles for now gets kind of pricey when your filling a 100gal system lol 20 5g bottles at 11$ each.

Check around. We have 2 retail water outlets here that sell it for $2.50 per 5 gal if you have your own containers and you buy a card for 25 at a time.

All your water is treated with ro/di? Drinking,and washing? That must be one heck of a system. Maybe you should pick up a small system just for emergencies. It'll cost you a couple hundred bucks but would probably be cheapest in the long run. Trips to town are expensive. On the bright side you can get ro/di in your town unlike mine.
Good luck with it. PS I'm playing with my lights as I type this. Think I found the problem.
