    Question regarding my ro/di unit

    I have a 6 stage watergeneral unit that I just replaced all the filters in.After getting it all together I noticed I may have incorrectly set the unit up.
    I was wondering should I use the water before of after the 6th stage(DI)?

    I was using the water after the 5th stage and the 6th stage was plumbed to the little faucet that was included in the kit that I have mounted near the main faucet on my sink.

    the drinking water is after the 5th stage (RO). water for the aquarium is after the 6th stage (DI). you cannot drink DI water because the resins are activated by different acids.

    i drink mine all the time, for years...
    the water you buy at waters stores goes through DI.

    for your tank, you should use the water after the 6th stage, for drinking its up to you.. many people need an adjustment to the taste (or lack there of)
