I am lucky enough to have a company that installs a di unit for free and all you pay is 13.5 cents a gallon. I asked them if they are only local or nationwide and they said they are local, but erverywhere that has a descent sized population should have a company similar to theirs. Check out you local yellow pages. It may be under medical equipment. They use di water for dyalisis(sp?).

Forgot to tell you that most ro units have a 10:1 ratio. 10 gallon into the ro unit, but only 1 gallon out. The di unit I had installed is 1:1. Also, ro units only produce a specific amount of water a day. The di unit I have is like my water faucet. I can get as much water as I need quickly. So while 13.5 cents a gallon may sound expensive, you are not wasting any water through the ro process. It is actually cheaper this way.

I would look into Spectrapure or The Filter Guys for your RO/DI needs.
