I know mine tastes strange when I get a mouthful from using a hose to siphon it off into a bucket. The only bad thing about those places is you usually don't know when it was serviced last, and you really need a TDS meter to test it. I just checked their website, they do service them daily, but only guarantee a TDS of less than 50. I get my RO water down to under 4 ppm and sometimes it is almost zero, but it is for sure zero after the DI stage.
    The one I use specifically says that DI is one of the nine stages of filtration. I've heard that about the taste before so I'm not sure how that works out. I know somebody comes by daily and at least changes the date on the sticker I've never checked their water with a TDS meter. A buddy with a RO/DI unit can be a wonderful thing but in a pinch the watermill places work better than tap.
