Local RODI Water Source Needed Desperately

[Chuck Spyropulos]

Does anyone know of a local source for RODI water? Can't remember if I it is OK to use steam distilled.


My RODI unit is not working due to a fitting that broke off and that cannot be removed from the RO membrane housing water supply outlet. I just found out that Marine Depot is out of one of the parts I need and so I did not get the "overnight" delivery. The stupid thing is that it is a 1/4 nipple that I ordered just in case and that I can get at HD. Well now this IS AN EMERGENCY since my salinity is rising and my pH is dropping since my kalkreactor is connected to my RODI.

I do have a 50 gallon tank full of "almost" fresh water that is at around 1.015 so I could use this and then dose kalk in the mornings. But it would be much easier to fill my freshwater 10 gallon reserve/supply tank with RODI water

I have some from Jays, but not sure how pure it is as I only use it in a FO tank. Figures that tomorrow is the only day I am not driving through Saugus or I would drop off first thing in the AM to you. I have 20 gallons.

Maybe someone closer will chime in or know of a source.

Good Luck!

Jay's carries RODI water? Or is it distilled? I can probably get through tonight with the low salinity water from my saltwater top-off reserve tank. If Jay's has RODI that would work. I could head up tomorrow night to get it.

I think I'm gonna have to increase my fresh water reserve tank for my rodi top-off after this event! I'll have to make some room in my fishroom for a 20 or 40 gallon resevoir.
