How mandatory is it to have one
How much are they at brs.com?
Di resin?
That's the one. With the extra stuff I added the build your own kit was cheaper. I added a float valve so that I can turn it on and it automatically turns itself of when full. Plus I added the dual tds meter and an adapter forum sink water lines and a saddle drain.
Saddle drain? Sink water lines?
...Also for every gallon made about 2-3 gallons goes down the drain. You can use that for other stuff as well. I have it plumbed to my sprinklers and give it to my dogs.
Aww... poor dogs! "Here's some crappy water I wouldn't even give to my fish!" HA! ;-P I've got 2 dogs myself, I feed them a raw diet so they get filtered water. Heck, I drink outta the tap sometimes, I treat my animals better than myself!
I might get a RO/DI system some day, I pay $.69/gal but SO MUCH easier to just buy SW from LFS for $.99/gal. And I tell ya what... you SAVE money if you don't go into the LFS weekly, I *never* just buy water!!
There isn't anything wrong with the "waste" water. You can drink it but when I make a 44 gallon barrel of water, where will I store the 100 gallons of waste water. They have drank it since they were puppies and have never had a bad visit to the vet.
