siskiou Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Is there anyone in Eugene who could supply me with RO water for a week or so (something like 10 or 15G)? Our laundry room in being remodeled and despite filling every container I had, I'm starting to run low and suspect my tanks won't last until I can connect up my filter again. I used to get "RO" water at the LFS and at machines, but it turned out to be worse than the tap water, so I don't want to go that route again! I have 5 G containers to pick it up with.

How was the RO you previously got worse than tap water? (And how do you know someone else's will be better?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I have seem Josh's tanks and I can assure you the water is fine :P, also if filters are not changed regularly they will GROW bacteria along with trap bacteria, you can figure out the rest from there. In a commercial water output environment they should have a TDS meter on the RO unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siskiou Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 Miles checked my "RO" water from the LFS and the Fred Meyer machine with his TDS meter, and I now have my own TDS meter to test with. Eugene water is around 30, LFS was something like 65, and the Fred Meyer machine even worse, IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Yikes. Did you get water?If it a rush you should have Jesse hook up a temp connection for you till he gets done with the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siskiou Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 Yes, Josh set me up with 10G of water and I hope to have my filter connected again when that runs out. Otherwise, I can get more from him! Thanks, Josh! I'll be glad to have the washing machine/dryer back soon, too! Had forgotten how long it takes to do at the laundromat!
