Thanks, I will have to look into that. The only way for me to tell if my well water contains that is to test for it. Anyone know where I can obtain a test kit for alumina?

Thanks for the input, my main concern is the abundance of fine sand particles in my water. It looks like the Kold Ster-il unit will be better suited to handle this than an RODI unit. Has anyone had...
