Alternative to RO Water

[Wezzel]

with the high cost of deionised water I have been thinking about the "Water to go" system. It is basically a drinking bottle with a very impressive NASA designed filter that takes out virtually everything. Filters are about £15 and are good for 200 litres which works out at 7.5p per litre.

It may be possible to buy the filter without the bottle and rig up 2 vessels for a quicker process

Non starter. How long would it take to extract 40 litres? It doesn't work on sea water so presumably it won't remove Sodium and Chloride (or any other?) ions.

Find out where you can buy tropical fish (e.g. our garden centre), take your FV and/or boiler and buy RO water for 10p/litre.

edit: you probably don't need to use 100% RO water to get to a specific profile.

I've been thinking about using a percentage of Tesco's Value water in order to reduce the high levels of chloride in my tap water, (110ppm). Would need to calculate the adjusted levels of course and re-measure alkalinity - or get an analysis of the new mix from Murphy's - sounds well worth the £20.
