Curious what folks here are averaging per gallon of RODI, and what setup might give the best cost/gallon?
Been running my RODI setup here and decided to calculate how much it's running me last night. Was a bit shocked that it runs me about $0.60 / gallon of water overall but if you consider my water setup has a roughly 3:1 ratio, that's like almost $2.20 / gallon, not counting the cost of filter and media. Considering I can buy RODI from my local WholeFoods at $0.49 / Gallon or from Neptune at $0.75/Gallon, seems like a huge premium to pay for convenience.
What's the cost per gallon you guys are getting for those with your own RODI setup?
Any recommendations to reduce costs here? With the amount of evap I am getting and need to replenish RODI, this is probably the single biggest reoccurring expense I have in this hobby -- maybe it's time to reduce the number of tanks after all!
