SRC Member Clement Chen Posted September 8, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted September 8, 2014 I used to use NTUC pure water, no need add salt. But found out its not exactly pure and its too much hassle, just buy a DI unit.

SRC Member starfish123 Posted September 8, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted September 8, 2014 I used life distilled water, but then hard to carry back home always, so switched tap water with seachem prime. Agree with bro clement best is get a di unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Firestarter Posted September 8, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted September 8, 2014 Better to use distilled or di water. Tapwater with seachem prime still contains nutrients which cant be compared to distilled / di.

SRC Member Firestarter Posted September 9, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hope this vid will be useful in understanding tds in water. I have personally tested tapwater with seachem prime and the tds increased just like in the vid. The office dispensers I'm referring to in the office are those that use 5gallon drums that need to be replaced when empty, not those water purifying dispensers running on filtered cartridges.
