The Dragon's den rules, because of all the terrible ideas. You get to witness people's complete ignorance to the fact that they are out of touch with reality.
I don't mean this as an attack on your idea, I just find that show really funny because of that just said & Kevin Oleary is awesome.

back to wetwebmedia, thought was if your city water was treated with chlorine, just let it aerate in a pail for a day, no Prime or anything needed.

yea but there is alot more then just chlorine in our water... will work for sure but they add other chemicals to the water for purity and to kill toxins... to be honest, even though there is a upfront cost to a RO or RO/DI u can use the units for soo much more then just our tanks!

I agree. You'll save more in the long run and exert less effort with an RO/DI unit.

Yea i agree. I do use an RO/DI machine. I was just curious if people out there would/have used this type of idea.

Watching the people on the show market zeolites as an air freshener, water purifier, De-icer(previous episode). made me wonder

I should have noticed you mentioned you have an RO unit.

A quick search on google yielded this paper: http://www.onepetro.org/mslib/servle...168-MS&soc=SPE

It seems to have been thought of, as indicated by this paper. However, it's late and I will leave a more concise literature survey to another day :P.
