We have a large wash sink, but the deionized water system that fed it was
long ago dismantled, and we haul jugs of distilled water over when needed
for washing textiles. We don't use it enough to justify the expense of
upgrading that system and paying the maintenance fees to keep it up, but
we'd like something a bit more convenient. 

 

I would be interested to find out if anyone has experience with or data
about the use of a reverse osmosis filter in place of deionized water. There
is plumbing to the sink, so adding a RO system would be easy.

Thanks for your feedback.
