Yes. Never have, never will use RO/DI.

Treat with prime or aqua vitro and thats it.

I am anti-RO.

6 years and counting, no tap water issues. No algae blooms thats everyone swears I should have.

Marketing convinces people that its required.... so do sales people. Lots of hooey.

Tap water is fine.

Here is a link to a poll I posted. More people NOT using RO.

You sure about that? I count 26 to 12 overall in favour of RO and zero "deluxe" systems with tap water....
