RO water at WalMart

[new2salt2]

just wanted people to know that if you cant afford the RO filters, or like me dont want to deal with the hassle and waste water. I just go a 5gal jug of RO water from the machine for .33 cents a gallon.

The major problem with the water from the machines in Wal Mart or any store, is that these machines need to be serviced regularly. *With cleaning and filter changes done. *I have tested TDS and Phosphates from these machines and lets just say no service was ever done on the ones in my area. *The problem is these store buy the machines but do not buy service contracts for maintenance.
I don't remember the exact numbers but the water from my Tape was better.

Sorry

Great point J. Bottled water is not regulated either. Scary what some folks drink!

so even if i order it delivered to my house by the company , Culligan i think, it would be possibly bad? or is it just machines in WalMart.

For the cost of that water you can buy your own and store it. An RO/DI unit will pay for it's self in a couple of months.

It's usually hit and miss with the bottled water. I used Culligan once and tested the phosphates they were through the roof. But another company Canada springs is always great.
