If you're like me, you fight with your wife once a week about your tank, and your left testicle hangs slightly lower than the right one.
So in an effort to not "ruin my marriage", I decided to retire my RODI system.
While making large quantities of RODI may provide cost savings for many, this wasn't the case for me.
Tank setbacks due to contamination from silicates and whatever else arises due to premature filter expiration issues required huge and money commitments to fix.
But this isn't anywhere close to waking up or coming home to a flooded apt, which we all experience at one time or another and results in big repair costs. I will also not miss the anxiety of wondering whether or not I remembered to shut off the system.
These days I have 5 gallon jugs of distilled water delivered to my home. It costs about $1.25/gallon, which is a small price to pay for not having RODI headaches or anxiety anymore.
