I agree, Calgary water is some of the better water. I have even done big water changes by just using tap water with some prime.

I run RO/DI 4- stage I bought from BRS. Work well. We have a drinking one but I decided to go with one dedicated to the tank. I actually use it with a connection right to my tap as opposed to hard wiring it - that may work for your apartment if you don't want a more permanent install. The BRS one I got had an adapter and then I just went to Home Depot to get the right adapter.

Since all salt mixes were designed to to use at least RO water(some High forehead made it that way)I wouldn't risk it.When Calgary starts to put aluminum in the water come spring run off you may want to keep that in mind.If you're downstream from any high populace you're dealing with everybody's medications they're peeing out(still want to drink the water?)If you want to Know what's in Calgary water go to the city waterworks website and check it out.
