bought RO water

[slt wtr stupid]

does the RO water from walmart still have chlorine in it i got some from the machine and this is the first time i'm using it and want to know if i need to do anything to it

 

[mkzimms]

depends if they ran it through carbon or not.

 

[slt wtr stupid]

well it came from a Culligan machine if that helps and i looked to see when the last maintenance was done on the machine and it was june 25 and the TDS were at 6 ( not sure what that means is it good or bad)

 

[slt wtr stupid]

OK i just read the paper i picked up off the machine and it says it was ran through activated carbon filters but it only says it reduces chlorine taste and odors

 

[bang guy]

TDS of 6 is pretty good for RO water. It probably has a small amount of Phosphate and Silicates but nothing serious.

 

[slt wtr stupid]

Bang what about chlorine?

 

[mkzimms]

if its run through carbon it should be alright.

walmart sells RO water?

Yeah, by me it is 25 cents a gallon. I fill up a bucket with 4 gallons and they look at me odd when I go to check out. Seems decent, it runs through the carbon filter and passes a UV light on the way out.

how in the world am i gonna get 125 gallons of RO water from walmart to my house?

 

[slt wtr stupid]

You can get it out of the culligan water machine and where i live it costs like 1.30 when you buy it the first time because of the jugs and .33 for refills. just take the jugs back and refill them dont forget your smiley sticker so they know its a refill.

ive called my walmarts around here and they know nothing about it.

 

[slt wtr stupid]

May be they use a different supplier where you are. Here Culligan is just a filtered water company that has a dispencing machine in the back isle of the grocery department. i think you can also buy RO water by the jug already sealed but i would cost alot more than .33 a gallon. i guess maybe you could just hang out and read lables

Glacier water machines are right outside many Publix supermarkets & CVS drugstores down here in Florida. Before I bought my ro/di unit I was getting water from these machines for .25 or .30 a gallon. Tested their water with my TDS meter and the results were 002 total disolved solids.
