Ok so I have been trying to get an answer to this question and keep getting mixed results. In my area all we have is well water and my LFS store tested it and said it would be fine to use with saltwater, but I really don't want to go that route. They sell water in their store for $1.00 a gallon ( holy crap). I do have access to RO/DI water at my work and I spoke to them and they will charge me $.01 a gallon.
They problem is every LFS I talk to said that the water would not be a good choice because it goes through a water softener first.
It goes through a softener, then the RO/DI unit, the filtered through a UV sterilizer.
Would this water be bad for my tank? I know they do regular maintenance on it and change filters often. I work at a printing company and we need to use RO/DI water for our presses so high quality water is a must. and the price is amazing.
