If you really want RO/DI you don't have to hard wire your unit. I ran mine on the counter top for about a year. Just tucked it underneath when I wasn't using it.

Vancouver's water is pretty good and you could probably get away with just a DI unit http://www.jlaquatics.com/product/ro...er+Filter.html

I have one you could have $10 (probably needs new resin). Used it for a year and was happy with it.

Thanks for the offers, guys. PM'd ya both.

Just out of curiosity... Does anyone have a source for the water quality of Vancouver water, re: dissolved solids and trace element content. I'm not from Vancouver originally, and back home I know that the water treatment board posted the water quality parameters on the web.
