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.

Thats the thing,I live waaay out in the country and only own 1 bottle,I believe the 10$ is just the deposit on the bottles. I am too far out to try it with just one bottle it would be 20 1hr drives lol

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.
