It's just a little harder than average, but yeah.BillTre said:The conclusion would seem to be that your residential water supply (presuming that's your source) is not great for some reason.
Yeah, I haven't decided yet how much I care, but the numbers are:BillTre said:This leaves you with three alternatives:
----------------------------
- just put up with it
- get your own equipment and make better water
- buy better water
Deciding among these requires figuring out how much good water you would need, in order to figure out the costs.
- I use probably half a gallon of water per night. This varies based on the weather of course.
- Assuming I use it every night for 4 months (I won't), that's 60 gallons for the season.
- The cheapest store-bought water I'm buying is $1.05 / gal, so that's $63 for the season.
Now that's interesting, I hadn't considered that they could be bought/used separate from an RO system. An RO system starts at about $200 and most are meant for whole-house use. I'm just not there yet. Looking around though, I see point-of-use/in-line (hose connected) DI filters, which are advertised for washing cars without leaving spots. They start at about $25.BillTre said:I guess you could also just get a deionizer column and use that.
I am also guessing that these operate similarly to these water purifying devices you can put on a faucet or pour through to fill a container.
