Why are you buying so much bottled water? I installed an RO filter
and get much better than bottled water delivered at my kitchen sink. I
used to buy a lot of distilled water for my humidifier but RO filtered
water is as close as it gets to distilled and costs about 5¢/gallon.
And you have to get rid of all those plastic bottles. And not only was
buying distilled water in quantity getting expensive most times the
stores didn't stock enough for my needs. My RO set up can produce 8
gallons per day, more than enough for my humidifier, coffeemaker,
cooking needs, and drinking water.
