i didnt click that last link, so maybe its mentioned in it but i read somewhere that DI is so pure that if you drink it ALOT and it can rob your body of electrolytes.
makes sence one can o/d on water “Hyponatremia” im sure this could happen faster drinking di water im sure its fine in coffie just dont take it to the gym.

im not a chemistry expert, but im pretty sure it wouldnt “rob” your body of electrolytes, it just wouldnt replace them. the DI part stands for de-ionization which means its doing something(<-not a chem guy ;D) to remove the anions and cations(sp?) from the water which are, as i recall, your basic elements with either one more or one less electron. these anions and cations are what make up electrolytes, i think some like Na and K are more important than others.
its not robing per say its just diluting creating more space between electrolytes this happens via osmosis. its makes sence that di water would create more osmotic pressure than tap or ro water. one would prob have do drink a lot of di water but i would take less di water that tap or ro to overdose. an o/d on water can be fatal.

did u use ro as in 50 ppm or di as in 0 ppm? i love ro water, better then bottled without the waste (as long as u use the waste water,lol).[/quote]
I suppose you are referring to the packaging waste of bottled? Not to mention the carbon foot print of walmart trucks driving this crap all over the place and you driving to the store to pick it up.
I believe this image was from back in the day when I have a 12gpd membrane pumping water into that brute in the background. When I purchased the 75g from Shawn I bought 75g of water from Walmart. I believe it took like three shopping carts.
w0w thats a lot of water, and a very low rated ro system…
