Default Anybody know a good place to get R/O water
I'm in a rental place right now and moving in a couple of months. I live downtown Vancouver and am looking for a good place to buy R/ O water?

Do you have a Real Canadian Superstore nearby?

Yup. I'll try them. I'm using Safeway but it doesn't say if it's ro water

How much water do you need each time?
My DT is empty right now so I could sell you some RO water. I make 45g per run.
I usually store up to 90g at a time.

PM me your # if you're interested ...

If you have a nano it's not a bad way of going, (lugging ro from store).

When I was renting I had a ro unit under sink, unmounted. I hooked it up to faucet with this when in use:

The Ro water I would get from save on ended up having a higher tds than my tap water. Rodi is the way to go

My RO comes out of the membrane @ 0 TDS. No DI needed here.

I believe the tds out of your tap is low in Burnaby
