DI Water filtration??????

[HowardW]

The theory that drinking distilled or 0 TDS RO/DI or otherwise purified water will eventually kill you is nonsense.

If you drank nothing but DI water it would do harm to your body, but with everything else you injest it really is not an issue. BUT FWIW RO water taste much better than DI

I'm curious as to what else is in the water that is not being filtered out, like chlorine. Can you test to see what the ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, calcium, alk, etc.... levels are?

The systems I've seen installed are prefiltered with a large Carbon filter to remove chemicals before the water touches the DI.

This is a very complex issue, by law di water must be labeled undrinkable in the workplace, di water will corrode stainless steel, and where is that Boomer fellow when ya need him??

Here's an informative thread, and you should read through the whole thing to learn just what hogwash that salesman and those scientists are telling you regarding RO/DI water being unsafe to drink or other nonsense

Link doesn't work. I would rather error on the safe side regardless.

I've never even been to RC and I don't think i want to ever go there if this is the kind of superior attitude most of the people have there.

Thank you RS for being so friendly

the DI system is great every time i do a water change the water coming out of the aquarium is less yellow that tells me its working to solve many problems ive been facing with the reef

Teardown/rebuild is closer every day for this nightmare reef

Here's the fixed link.....I hope. Boomer and Randy Holmes-Farley both seem to agree that the issue of drinking RO/DI will kill you or is harmful is hogwash.
