    Maybe it is that your not understanding the way the USA water treatment plants do things in the USA.
    They do add minerals and fluoride and chemicals to our tap water. Most of these minerals can be found in a multi vitamin.

    If this thread is disturbing you maybe turning your head and closing your eyes would help or not clicking on the thread link would help...LOL

    Maybe it's you that doesn't understand. Try re-reading what you have written and maybe you will see the point.

    If not, then there is nothing more that I want to add.

    Finally won the darn bid on E-bay for a new 5 stage RO/DI. $80...Not too shabby for a delivered to my door system. One more thing I don't have to worry about.

    Hi dx7fd2 did you get that system off the link I gave to builderguy on this thread? If so I think you will be happy with the system.

    You can get some great deals from him?

    I don't know if it is the same guy but I just searched EBay for RO/DI systems and had to bid on 4 before I got one. The guy is SoumiKnight and apparently their company builds a ton of these mostly for the Reefheads out in the water polluted world. 8)

    They also have RO/DI with the tanks and 5 or 6 stage configurations. ;)

    Got my RO/DI filter today...Now for some judicious plumbing. This should be interesting.

    Hope this isn't off subject but the line I am running is going to be PVC over to the sink. I've never used the self-piercing taps on PVC only on copper. It should work... Or should I put a little stub of copper on the end of the line and use the tap on that? [smiley=inquisitive.gif]
