RO/DI Hare Brain Idea

RO, no problem, I was referring to DI.
Not trying to start a debate. If Desani is using DI good, but the problem is, if DI was the only source of water taking in.

The WHO is definitely NOT a resource, certainly not an organization I am willing to trust, and no one needs a ‘1 world ’ anything. Read up on the WHO and their vaccinations in Africa … you’ll see what I mean.

The WHO evidently advocates drinking water that is contaminated with fluoride! The fluoride added to 90% of drinking water is hydrofluoric acid which is a compound of fluorine that is a chemical byproduct of aluminum, steel, cement, phosphate, and nuclear weapons manufacturing. Read up on it and you will not want to drink it.

And here was me thinking you meant Roger Daltry and the guys as a scientific resource :doh:

You're right, maybe not the best link provided.

DI still is not a problem. No one survives on water alone much less at the huge quantities it would take to possibly cause problems. The amount of minerals we get from water is almost zero, same with the amount of minerals etc. we could lose by drinking DI. We get minerals from food and supplements not water. Its a myth. Some University recently published a big list of Urban Legends and it was included in that list too.

Take a look at Desani water, its DI. Others are too and people drink it all the time. Do you really thing companies like CocaCola, Pepsi and others who bottle the drinking waters would open themselves up to liability suits if there was evidence to the contatry??

That argument does not hold water at all. Most colas contribute significantly to stomach ulcers. If it was true, we would not have a single cigerette company selling in the USA!! not to mention some of the things drug companies have sold and still sell!!

Sorry, I did not mean to hijack the thread.

So after reading the last 2 pages of back and forth about drinking filtered water... feed the house tank after the RO, with a tee the rest of the tee to the DI then off to the second tank that goes to your sump. You will have X gallons for the house and X for your Reef. You can get (for example) 5 gallons for the house side and 15 Gal for the Reef. Keep it simple, if there is a question if DI water could be harmful, why pay to over filter your drinking water. You would have less waste water, and replace the DI cartridge less frequently.

Great idea!
