actually, its very economical. let's look at numbers. the filter uses 30 watts. running it for 2 hours consumes 60 watt-hours of electricity, or 0.06 KWH. the electrical costs of polishing the water are less than a penny.

given the cost of water and RO/DI filter elements, i think that replacing the RO/DI water would cost more.

in my case i think that the uncovered can picked up contaminants from the air.
