Yes there are lots of places where you can buy pure water. I know where the places are around here but not where you live. Maybe you could Google it and find out where your nearest place is..

hi steve
i recommend you looking on the johnhewitt website for prices on ro and di.
i wouldnt recommend buying it as it will become expensive.
john hewitt has some very good cheap backpacks too.
I also recommend you think about getting a wagtail whirlwind and a traditional pole to do the hard to reach windows,wouldnt cost you no more than £50 to £60 and you have a great pole and a wagtail.
