My rodi system arrived on Monday. I purchased the aquarium model from Aquasafe Canada.

My only gripe about it so far is that one of the DI canisters is a bit leaky. No matter how much I tighten the end cap it still leaks. I'm sure some plummers' tape will take care of that. Oh, and it took me two hours to put it together.

With how much water I'm making, it will pay for itself in six weeks. I need to get a TDS meter, but I'm pleased with the test results. I'm saving the waste water for the washing machine.

Default tap water? I don't "thimk" so

As someone who did a great job killing goldfish in Edmonton (1963), live in Los Angeles, and spent half my life in Vancouver/Victoria (water is pretty inert) I wouldn't put any prairie water in a tank without RO and testing and knowing what else is in it. Answer: lot's of "stuff".

Edmonton, back in the day, pulled water that seemed half something else. Calgary water (smell it out of the tap) has to have lots of "stuff" in it.

What's the city's water formula? It should be published/accessible.
