Fishie March 20, 2017 Share March 20, 2017 (edited) hey Wamas, i use my RO/DI for making drinking water (ro only) in addition for the aquarium what are your thoughts on this as a replacement for drinking water only? http://www.enagic.com/shop/en/machines/leveluk-r.html someone was telling all sorts of good things about it...don't know much Edited March 20, 2017 by Fishie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origami March 20, 2017 Share March 20, 2017 Seems overpriced for what seems to amount to a column of calcium sulfite, activated carbon, and a mechanical filter. My feeling is that you're getting good water with your RO approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.x-ray March 20, 2017 Share March 20, 2017 (edited) Stick with the RO. Edited March 20, 2017 by mr.x-ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishie March 21, 2017 Author Share March 21, 2017 what would be a good way to alkalize the RO water for consumption... i do agree the "flavor" of RO is the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origami March 21, 2017 Share March 21, 2017 what would be a good way to alkalize the RO water for consumption... i do agree the "flavor" of RO is the best If you're on city water, then just run the water through a sediment filter followed by a carbon filter. This should let a lot of your existing hardness (which includes carbonate alkalinity) pass through. Why do you want to "alkalize" your water? All that really means is you want the pH to be higher than 7. Fresh water, especially RO or RO/DI has a lot of components removed so that pH readings are essentially meaningless because it takes very little for it to deviate a lot around the neutral point (7). Low pH in these circumstances often just means there's CO2 gas dissolved in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
