1) you need more water pressure....booster pump?
2) no, 4 to 1 really aint that bad :-\
3) I've heard it rots clothes, but I don't think it turns you gay from drinking it..... although I wouldn't risk it  ;D

P.S don't drink the water after DI it will give you the guts ache. a man talking from experience ;)

Saw the local kentucky had got a blue di vessel rigged up direct to their nescafe machine, on clear view from the counter.

I wonder if they all have?

DI is ok to drink, RO leaves a cancinogenic residue apparently....

i may have a fairly new one for sale soon ;) to be honest under normal tap pressure i would only get about 50 litres an hour out of one 4040. and now i get about 120 litres an hour with 2.

how quick is the merlin going?

That must mean theres something already in the water thats carcinogenic, which DI takes out. Whats that then?

It's the other way around. The resin we use isn't food grade, hence toxic for humans. RO's are used in the drinking water industry with no problems at all. In effect, most of our RO's are used for that.

If you buy a bottle of DI water to put in your battery/steam iron etc, it says on it "Do not drink"

The water we produce is the same stuff.  Incidentally, tropical fish afficionados buy RO water from pet shops at vast expense - possible earner?

The reason you shouldn't drink it is that pure water has an aggressive need to revert to its natural impure state - as soon as it comes into contact with any substance it starts dissolving material, such is the nature of naturally occurring water.

If you drink it, what's the first soluble substance it comes into contact with?  That's right - YOU - or rather your mouth/throat/gullet/stomach.

Hence Sparklebright's guts ache ;D

Drink enough and it can seriously damage your stomach lining

Oh. :-[

I know that Coca Cola used RO on their Dusani purified water that they had to withdraw because RO left a small chemical residue that was carcinogenic. But I must say I don't drink either. ;D
