Typically RO permeate is going to be aggressive as it will want to "pick-up" molecules, especially from basic metals. We use either Polyphosphate or Calcite prior to any metals in the plumbing systems for protection from leeching of the metals. Stainless Steel is resistant to the corrosive effects. And in regards to consumption of RO or Distilled water, it has been proven to rehydrate the body's cells faster than untreated water. Remember the stomach is filled with Hydrochloric Acid with a pH of about 1. Highly Alkaline water will neutralize the stomach acid, so the body has to produce more. It can often hamper proper digestion.

Hi Terry.

Thankyou for the information.

I definitely was not aware of RO water rehydrating cells faster, and i was not aware that it is fit for consumption.
