Useable DI water

[John Deroe Kenedy]

Is there any other brands other than Life?

I find it troublesome especially when NTUC is far away. I always look like a weird-o when i go to NTUC to buy 1or 2 carton every week, need take cab $6.. Any other brands?

[MadScientist]

Ntuc distilled water, haha. Can always go 7-11 or ask your provision shop boss to regularly bring in

[John Deroe Kenedy]

lol specialy request ah? no hope lei.. Provision shop nearby only have ice mountain.. i have prime n 7-11.. but dunno which DI water to buy.. got but once but scared to use therefore i drank it..

[MadScientist]

Anything that says distilled is rather safe. Just tell the boss you every week get 1 carton from him?

As long as it tastes nicer than ice mountain or dasani, it's not safe

[John Deroe Kenedy]

taste nicer? i didnt know bottle water got nice taste.. usually those smells like coconutty taste..

[MadScientist]

Evian, etc?

[John Deroe Kenedy]

no idea.. no use drinking evian water... is 7 eleven distilled water safe?

[MadScientist]

Not safe for wallet

[John Deroe Kenedy]

bo pian... need to top up... ntuc too far.. prime only got prime, evian, ice mountain... 7 eleven got drinking water n distilled water.. so i buy 7-11 distilled water.. $2.20..

bro if I'm not wrong. u can get fair price to deliver. one carton $5.50. if order >60$ deliver charge $7 else $10. beats u taking cab and carry.

[MadScientist]

Cold storage and isetan does delivery too

Bro di water that you buy have youtest the parameter by Tds meter and what the reading show.

I have tested 0.2 ppm can't be use only for drinking. Invest Di unit from Madpetz long run worth it.

[MadScientist]

Erm, no one sells di water for drinking? Tastes horrible. They only sell distilled at best. Tds is surely more than 0.2ppm

[Sprinter]

sorry bro i mean water that brought from ntuc or 7eleven can it be use for reef tank.

[MadScientist]

If you are going for ulns, typically not advisable as there's usually a tiny bit of phosphate and nitrate. If you are not that obsessed with that tiny bit entering your system, it's more than adequate. The amount is very little anyway. A feeding usually introduce more than what can be found in the water (dependent on volume used)

[John Deroe Kenedy]

ermm.. i dunno lei.. i find that using ro/di system n buying di water come back same... RO/DI u have to buy the unit = $, replacing carbon n resin = $, tap water running = $.. so its about the same.. the only irritating part is that u have to go to ntuc buy Life water...

I think drinking water got like milky coconutty taste while distilled water just taste like water..

[JeffL]

IMHO I dont think RO/DI unit is really cost effective in the long run. It is just for convenient purpose.

disadvantages of buying LIFE brand is non-environment friendly, I feel bad for throwing so many plastic bottles.

I bought a new 3 stage DI unit and has yet to use, haha!!

If im not wrong RODI system need to wait too right for it to produce pure water?

Quite true that it is unfriendly to the enviorement.. Maybe can we contact LIFE water manufacturer to deliver cartons to our house at the same time we can give them back empty bottles for them to recycle? maybe discount for empty bottle returns.. good ehy?

But i read that it is a product of malaysia imported to singapore.. Manufacturer is not in singapore

[MadScientist]

You can always get those water drums for water dispensers. They do delivery and they do collect back the empty drums
