Agreed. I buy RO water for drinking and don't use any filter for the normal water.
Can I have the contact to buy the mineral water as I only can find RO water?

Thanks for info, will check it out. Do you have a link?

I checked out some info on the bottles using PET and the RO water being more acidic. I guess the PET bottles could cause some problem but I'm not too worried about it. I'm not worried about the pH at all.

I actually chose bottled water since I'm most worried when buying the small water treatment system that it does not work as it should. For example when you have a water treatment plant, you will analyze the treated water regularly to see if the treatment system is still working as it should. For the small water treatment system this is not done, which is what I don't like.
Secondary reason was that the cost was about the same.

Somebody did mention the other day that I also didn't know what was going on inside the factory where they prepare the RO water, so that did raise a few flags. And when I was searching for info on the above potential problems I stumbled upon the low mineral content of RO water again which is a minus.

Before I started using RO water last time I tried to find bottled mineral water but couldn't. Anyway it seems there is some services like that now, so going to change to mineral water.

Yeah looks like have to live with either pet or pc, no choice, since don't want to use small system as explained above.

Added on September 23, 2010, 2:13 pmI actually read a lot about this previously, the RO water sellers and mineral water sellers will have opposing articles. That's why I looked for an impartial source, in this case the WHO which published an article called "Health risks from drinking demineralised water": http://www.who.int/water_sanitation_health...mineralized.pdf
