I have had zero issues with the water and saved hunreds, if not thousands of dollars over the years in electricity, wasted water, membranes and additives to put back into the water the things mother nature left there. In the meantime, a good friend of mine has spent two thousand dollars on a huge RO unit and automatic topoff. In addition, he has bought several refractometers and meters to measure impurities in the water in addition to a 300 gallon storage tank, yet his 500 gallon reef has crashed twice. I'll stick with my wellwater.
Wow Im going to try that Larry.
