Very true but you don't know how good that water is. If you are talking about the machine, make sure you check the filter change date. If you are talking about the sealed gallon jugs, it is most likely distilled water.
Salty, if you replace all the filters/membrane in your filter, it should be good to go.

A RO filter uses a membrane to filter the water. Only 99% pure water flows through the membrane. The membrane is only good for about 1500 gallons. Do you know what brand you have?

OHHH...yes it is. Distilled is fine. It just goes through a different purification process. You shouldn't have any problems with what you have now.

Distilled is fine but RO is better, distilled may be to pure, so use the distilled but do get RO from now on if possible. The water from WallMart is RO the company is culligan.

Yep...normal...Really freaked me out when I set up my 55, but it was fine.
I didn't have internet access at that time, so I just had to hope and keep my fingers crossed...

P.S. Good luck to you!
