I have been using steam distilled water from my local pharmacies for the past few years. But everyone seems to extol the virtues of reverse osmosis water.
I did not think I could find any bottled reverse osmosis water, but have now realized that we fill our water cooler bottles with water that is RO. And along with being RO the dispenser claims to have ultraviolet sterilization and mechanical filtration.
This is from a large chain grocery store here in Vancouver.
I can find no information from the company about any constituents that might be in the H20.
Is it safe to use this RO water??
Should I test the water for anything before using.
I live in a rental unit and can not install a unit here to produce my own RO water.
Interestingly, my LFS and a few other aquarists I have met at the store all use the tap water with conditioner, and all claim success here with Vancouver water.
