Big Tank Questions

[eklikewhoa]

When the hurricanes hit I filled every bottle and container with water from the carbon bottle.

Worked out great

Its not going to soften the water just take out the Chem. RO/ID will make the water softer.

A water softener, softens water.

RO/DI strips water of all nutrients

Re: Big Tank Questions

I filled up and drank a glass of water from my carbon filter while I was doing water changes one day.Tasted pretty damn good.

if both units are used for your water changes. Why buy a whole house unit. Do you notice a difference in the taste of the water. Is there a difference in the way that your skin feels after a shower?????

You can notice a higher quality of taste and feel. It lasts much longer and if you get a whole house unit, you eliminate the need for an extra single unit. Besides I can only see that single unit lasting for a few months with such large and constant water changes.

Where I work, they use high quality whole house units for each faucet. The tap water that comes out tastes just as good if not better than Ozarka bottled water.

I think most are using the whole house or close, the single units are for RO/DI units and would probably exhaust a lot sooner the way most are doing water changes.

The water does not smell as bad and it does feel different.

I hope that I used y'all in the correct context.

Yep. Did pretty good for a yankee.

Some people use the single unit. IMO if you have the money, go for the whole house unit. Your fish will thank you.
