Hi Everyone--

This may or may not be tangential to the discussion, but recently I found
a water vending machine, marketed by Glacier (logo=penguin) that vends
sodium-free R.O. water for $0.25 a gallon. For those of us who have small
collections, this might be more immediately affordable than buying an R.O.
unit. I've calculated 1 $197.00 R.O. unit = 788 gallons of Glacier
water. My question is how much more should one add on for maintainance of
an R.O. unit? If the cost is negligible and one has a large collection--I
can't see why one wouldn't invest in an R.O. unit. (BTW, I'm in no way
affiliated with Glacier, other than I know a bargain when I see one.)
