RODI

[Hamada]

Anyone know where I can buy rodi water from?

I checked 6th ave but after filling up a 5g jug the water was green so that was a no go for me.

Are the machines in front of the grocery stores any good to make saltwater?

I’ve found that drinking water stores sell water that has tested at 0 TDS. They usually employ UV, RO and some other post filtration afterwards

Will this be safe to use?

Relatively safe...Not sure if they’re as strict on the filter replacements when it comes from vending vs a store

Carry a TDS pen with you.

Natural life in SSF has RODI water by the gallon as well, but def carry a TDS pen there. The store in not well maintained at all.

If you don’t have a TDS pen, you can borrow mine for a couple of days.

They vary greatly. Check the phosphates before you use it.
