It all depends on your water quality. I assume Blackfalds gets it's water from the Red Deer river so the quality will change in the spring when you get the run-off, pesticides leach into the river which is high in phosphates, etc. If you test it and TDS are good give it a shot, if algae is uncontrollable them maybe you will have to switch, if all works well then you can save your money and the hassel of producing RO/DI water and storing it.
