Dear Vern:
Yes, we're using a German deionizer named "Lewatit".
It works to keep the water at 5.0 pH, but not good enough to make viable
the eggs of A. paucisquamis, A. elizabethae, A. diplotaenia etc.
Have tried about one year only with deionizer and no good results.
So we look now for a R.0. unit.
