I have been cutting my tap water with store-bought distilled water for my AG batches up to now, but just bought an RO/DI system (latest toy ). Like all my new toys, I need to figure out how to use it (i think it's easy though).
It's a six stage system with the last stage being the de-ionization (DI) stage, which happens after passing through two stages of RO membranes. My question: is the DI stage necessary/significant for our purposes? It seems that a lot of people are confusing de-ionized water with distilled water. I just want to know if I need to use the de-ionization (DI) stage (one more thing to clean, maintain, repair) or if the RO stages are fine.
Thanks for any help.
