I have been measuring the phospate content in my local water, and it seems to be "off the scale" on my test kit, which doesn't surprise me being near the end of the Mississippi river. It seems obvious I'm going to have to switch to a form of purified water. I hear most people are using RO water, but I hear that DI is even better. Is DI equipment a lot more costlier or more expensive to maintain? Can someone give me a rundown?
1. What type of water are you using and what equipment? Are you happy with it?
2. Are there differences in the models of purifiers based on the amount of water they produce in a certain time? I.e. Is it more economical to say get something that does a certain volume because the media may be cheaper than an initially less-expensive model that may have higher-priced replacement media?
3. If cost were no object, what equipment/method would you use?
I know this is based on how much water one might use, but I figure for most people, even the low-end models can produce enough water in the time it's necessary. I'd probably go with something in the middle that is the lowest maintenance. Advice recommended - and let me know if any brands are very good and what brands should be avoided..
Thanks!!
