Permeate doesn't taste very good. Have you tried it?
Dasani brand water is reverse osmosis treated water and they have to remineralize it to make it taste better.
i think most bottled water companies add ozone ( some kind of water stabilizer) to their water to give it a shelf
life and not go slimey.
I saved about 5 gallons this year in a sealable 5 gallon bucket and use it to wash my windows. It leaves no streaks at all. I have tried to drink it while running the RO before but it's not very refreshing at all.
