Correct but many other cities do, including (as far I know) Edmonton and Saskatoon.

I agree with ScubaSteve. However, pretty much anything in moderation isn't going to affect you one way or the other.

To add to this, since I suspect there have been an underlying thought in the original question, I use my RO/DI system for more than just my tank. OK, the tank was the reason to get it but I also rationalized getting rid of Culligan (bought the cooler off them for $50) -and that saves me $.

For the water we drink, I've put 2 valves in the system and I cut out the DI stage of the system when making drinking water. I also use this water when I make wine.

I also use RO/DI for filling all our humidifiers.

For me, buying the system was a no brainer -it pays for itself over and over again.
