which water is best??

[kpatrick]

I have always added DI water to my tank but recently I lost my source for the DI water. I was told to go to WalMart and get my water there. When I got there I noticed they had a few different types but none of them were DI water. They had distilled water, purified water, and drinking water that had been through the R/O process. Which of these is the best? There reason that im asking is that im seeing a big increase in my KH. instead of being between 8-10 it is over 14 and I cant seem to get it down.

Thanks

The best source is to buy an RO unit and do it yerself... I top off 5 gallons a week and its like a buck a gallon for RO water from Walmart I think... That's 5 bux a week... I got my RO unit for $75, so it paid for itself in 15 weeks... That doesnt even include the change water either...

But, if you CANT get one, then anything that says RO, especially if you can get it from the Culligan station where you fill it yerself, will do fine...
