RO/DI units only make pure freshwater. you can plumb them into an auto top-off, or anything else you may need. they are made to remove harmful metals and other solids from your tap water.

No gator. Don't hook it up to the tank. It will remove the salt and you'll end up with a freshwater tank; although you'll probably go broke buying DI canisters before that happens.

Use it only to purify tapwater,
