Default Anybody know a good place to get R/O water

I'm in a rental place right now and moving in a couple of months. I live downtown Vancouver and am looking for a good place to buy R/ O water?

How much water do you need each time?
My DT is empty right now so I could sell you some RO water. I make 45g per run.
I usually store up to 90g at a time.

PM me your # if you're interested ...

If you have a nano it's not a bad way of going, (lugging ro from store).

When I was renting I had a ro unit under sink, unmounted. I hooked it up to faucet with this when in use:

The Ro water I would get from save on ended up having a higher tds than my tap water. Rodi is the way to go

My RO comes out of the membrane @ 0 TDS. No DI needed here.

I believe the tds out of your tap is low in Burnaby
