Re: Slightly Off Topic Question

A cheaper alternative to an RO unit is a de-ioniser.  I believe there are
a couple available in the UK one goes by the name of 'Purity on Tap' I
think.  They are basically a long tube containing some medium (looks like
fine dark coloured sand.  You attach water via a hose at one end and
the purged water comes out the other end.  The rate must be kept slow
though other wise it won't be completely cleansed, I think it takes
roughly 15mins to fill a bucket.

In the UK try animal house or Aquaitcs Direct as probably your cheapest
source.

Hope this helps,
Ken.
