[rvalen]

well the other day my son dropped my unsecure unit and it cracked and broke 2 of the 3 canisters,,,,i have to do top offs everyday i have been using tapwater,,,,i was gona head down to this water store and use ro water for a cple mths or so,,,,,i have just had terrible luck with rodi systems,,i dnt wanna even mess with one till a later date,,, dennis has rodi water fairly cheap but thats on the otherside of town,, the LFS near me sell it for 1.00g (crazy) how long can it be stored for??? if i got some from dennis i would like to get at least 60g

In a closed inert container It will last forever.

Not drinking!- Use distilled water!- drinking still have left Ova minerals in it. I just got one of those big blue 5 Gallon water bottles you would flip upside down to disspents water in ur house, like $10 bucks @ a wally-world, and I fill it at this "water-mill" in alberson parking lot by my house for $1.50 for 5 gallons of 8 stage osmosis rodi water for my top offs durning the week. Hope this helps.

I was buying the distilled water @ Wally-world the 2.5 Gallons for $1.88 or something so the water mill is worth it in the long run.

i wana try and transport it in two 35g brute bins but i think it woukd be to heavy to lift and crack the handles,,,why everytime i ask a water store if they carry rodi water they dnt have a clue what im talking about??? this place up the st has ro water and the tds reading is 3

>_< eek that's no good mon!- & I think your theory is right 32 Gallons is 256 lbs. 1 gallon = 8 gallons.

This was the problem when I was trying to move my 75 Gallon that was running for a year. had to go to Wally-world and get a 56 Gallon trash can and then fill 3.5 five gallon buckets >_<

Why dot you try the water-mill

I'm sure they have a water-mill somewhere near you in some grocery store parking lot. Look into them before you drive super far.

im pretty sure chad down at reptiles and reefs has plenty of RO/DI available. he's off of sunset and stephanie.

or one of those windmill places. just be sure to double check the tds.

Why don't you just go to lowes and pick up 2 new canisters? If they don't have them I think Mcfaddendales does...

[Tlalok]

I think she already bought one over a month ago

You're not going to find RODI water anywhere like walmart - the average Joe has no need for DI water - and people who run the RO vending machines likely have never heard of "DI."
