No one is insisting anything they are trying to help spare you from potentionally losing hundreds of dollars before you even start your tank! It is so much cheaper to buy a ro/di unit but if you want to buy water until you get your unit that will be fine. Thats a lot of water to be lugging in. Those basic filter units you are talking about are no good for a fish tank. I would also go with The Filter Guys for a ro/di unit.Good Luck with your new tank!
