Try some large supermarkets, home depot's, or the yellow pages for water purification. Generally about 25-40 cents American per gallon. Check out JustinX's Red Slime thread.

WalMart sells the stuff. It's called Drinking Water (green label), clearly states purified by reverse osmosis and deionization. they sell it for $.58/gallon. I keep wiping my Walmart out cause I buy about 20G a week. Going to get a RO unit soon.
You could call a water distributor in your area, but they seem to be double the price.

In 2 months you could pay for an RO+DI unit.

Also try your local fish store..You have to ask because even know you don't see it, they could be making it in a back room

I use Wal Mart water also and it works great.

Will RO water help get rid of hair algae?

the lfs i buy it from is actually 9 cents cheaper than the aboved mentioned. it is 49 cents a gallon.

Its 0.35 at my LFS, 0.30 if you buy their buckets. But it only cost under 0.10 with my own RO+DI filter, life span of pre-filters, RO membane DI filters and waste water all factored in.
Buy a Unit.
