Tap water purifier

[azzala]

This is a general question in response to reading another post. Someone mentioned getting a "Water purifier for $28.95 that you just attaches to any faucet and treats 50-150 gallons of water and it works great."
Is this a safe why to add water in a tank or should a person stick with a RO supply? I have very little room to store water and go through quite a lot.

This is one of those questions that it depends on who you ask. As far as my 2 cents, all water changes and evaperation replacement that I have done in my 90 gallon since September of last year has been from a tap water purifier and I have had great results. The only RO water that has ever been in my tank is the water the LFS brought when he set up my tank.

I used this product with great results. It really depends on how big your tank is. If your tank is larger than 55 gallons, it might not be worth it. It works very slow and might not be what you are looking for. However, if your tank is a 30gal, then this would work great. I cant see using it for a 125gal. Ridiculous! HTH--Bob

Sorry Salty for the faux pas in posting a none fish topic on the fish board.
Thanks Bobber, you had all the info I needed.

Hello,
I use the tap water pur.for over a year with great success to fill up a 55, 30 and (2) 20 gallons. I only need to fill up a 25 gal garbage can about once every two weeks or so. I keep that water heated and airated.
