can you drink RO/DI?

NO I am saying that Edmonton doesn't as you listed those two together....Chloramine final solution is huge in the states.....

It's a well-documented FACT that ro/di water will literally leech the BONES right out of your body. I know a lot of big-boned people drink upwards of 2L/day and some have now landed modeling contracts.

Knowledge is key everyone. Educate yourselves and GET SEXY!

I'm pretty sure they do, everywhere I look tends to say so anyway. Where do you get all your info from?

Actually Sphelps...I have to apologize..... I was just having a discussion on it...and Edmonton does produce Chloramines....so I stand corrrected.....they are using Sodium Hypo solution for their free chlorine but they are also adding ammonia to the plant distribution system...so Edmonton is on the chloramine list.......and so is Red Deer..........Victoria........Wetaskiwin........

But Calgary definitely does not.

Agreed, but they probably will be soon, especially as the city continues to grow.

My Info? I just sat my butt in the office of the guy that designed the plant......when in doubt......go to the top..

For you people that are using your R/O units for drinking - are you also sanitizing the R/O unit at least every 6 months?
If not, you should start. Bacteria will accumulate in your systems.
We have a separate R/O unit for our drinking water here (we're on a well) and the instructions state that sanitization every 3 - 6 months is recommended.

I am pretty sure that most, if not all, stores that have the fill stations for the bottled waters plants use RO filtres on the water they sell (they don't have artisian wells beneath each and every superstore..lol)....so based on that, I dont' really see how it could be medically bad for you.
just my 2 cents

its not about the RO water as RO is drinkable its pretty well the DI as people don't deionize there water in any stores that sell drinking water its only RO with a UV sterilizer or at least thats what safeways water is anyway
