    yeah i wish i could get some from somewhere but my car is very very small sports car and the trunk is full of electronics so no room to lug around water.

    Guess im gonna use the water from the water softener. i know everyone doesn't use RO/DI water. I guess i was just wondering if softened water was a step up or a step down from regular tap water

    Thanks for all the quick replies

    Yes, softened water is a step up from the hard untreated water from the city. But it is not a large enough step to not have problems. Do yourself a favor and buy an RO/DI as soon as you can.

    can anyone point me in a direction of a decent one that will not break the bank. The one i had previously was bought from home depot and used at my old house. i recently bought a new house and just paid 2k for a softner so i really dont care to spend too much more money on water care. thanks.

    Don't go cheap on your RO/DI system. You will be throwing money away. I own 3 and a half systems. That's how I know.

    Just go to Russ at Buckeye. And as suggested previously, don't use your tap water - it really will affect your system.
