A guy in my local LFS told me that he drank RO water for three months
believing that as it was pure and had no minerals it would be good for him.
Unfortunatley his teeth started to break up and he experienced gum
problems.

If you're looking for an R/O unit, the Aqua Vie really isn't practical
for aquariums. I'd recommend Seachem's R/O unit instead.

Hi,

Do anyone have experienced of Agua Vie water purifier? Would you
please provide details information?
I know there is a web site for Agua Vie. I am interested in the
testimony of product, such as price, service and the product quality
etc. Some people post on internet complaining that the price is not
39.99 but
above 470.00. Is it true?

Thanks in advance.- Hide quoted text -

I could not agree more!!

All fish need minerals in their water, even Amazon Basin fish. In fact
there is a lot of evidence of the importance of calcium for good
osmoregulation in fish which will result in much less incidence of
disease and other problems.

Buy a Filterdirect.com unmit made by Honeywell Systems called the
Water General for about $125 delivered.Its an RODI unit. or you can
just use the RO portion, but odds are you'llalso find a use for the DI
waster as well. No more dechlor or chloramine remover
needed...........and if you go with the rodi water itself, and add
back any minerals needed by way of a supplement, you can reduce algae
buildup as well since phospates and such are removed. I use RODI
water in everthing I have and do not have problems of any kind.
