Are you talking about reverse osmosis. Its a instrument that uses a membrane to clear water of contaminents and metals.

I am finding the same problem, It's called living in the northeast section of the country. My parents are from Fla. and they say all store sell it down there, but up here I have only been able to find distilled. So my quest to find R/O water continues, I will let you know if I run across it.

but i live in virgina -- that's not the north. Yes, i do mean reverse osmosis.

Have you considered buying a unit and making your own.

Wow

I live in California and I can buy RO for $1.00 for 5 gal.

I found it for 18 cents/gallon. Is that good?

After an ample amount of research, I found the best bang for your buck to be a unit from UltraPure. I purchased a 35gpd RO/DI unit for $225.00. To give you an idea just how poor water is in NW Indiana, my tap water averaged between 1.1 and 1.4 ppm of amonia. Water changes essentailly became counter-productive... RO is sold everywhere up here. It is either free at the local pet stores or 10 cents a gallon.

I found a R/O at pet.com for $220. It is a coralife pure-flo TFC.

TCF R/O system is $179 on petsmart.com
