ro di ?

Is ro di water ok to drink? I have read where some say yes and other say no. What do you think? I got an ro/di water filter for Christmas and the book that comes with it shows it hooked up for household use too. What your opinion?

Yes it is just fine to drink. Some people don't like the taste of DI but I didn't really notice much of a difference.

RO tastes better, but you can drink it.
