Re: [Killietalk] RO Water questions

[Kenneth Combs <ken_combs at sbcglobal.net>]

A wives tale I was always told was not to drink "distilled water", premise being it allegedly is too rough on the digestive tract...I realize RO/DI isn't "exactly" the same, but wondering if it effectivley is ...eitherway I can see the coffee and/or ice use for it being safe enough...wonder if adding a lil epsom salt or something would make it less "corrosive" ? (if the alleged "corrosive" danger is real)
...BTW Bill, where did you get those inline TDS thingies from?...I recall Spectra Pure near ASU had some kinda "built in" device for thier units, same thing? ...
 
also, is there anyway to salvage those eggs that have the tail sticking out? some species seem really prone to it...dunno if it's the temp related or what, but seems a lil peat water helps..so perhaps its a pH related or water hardness thing...same goes for those eggs that develope into black mush balls...my Epi infraciatus <spell> & SJO do this a lot ...seems force hatching does no good, and the eggs "appear" to be alive for a long time as they almost never fungus...odd...

...and BTW, is there anyway to make RO/DI drinkable?

Serve it really, really cold. It also makes great ice cubes. If you use it for coffee, use less coffee. The RO is so chemically active you may only have to use 1/2 the coffee.

Drinking RO, would people be less vulnerable to having kidney stones and the like?

All the best...
