Just remembered that been looking at a reverse osmosis water enhancement.
Hoping to see a good discount.
Anyone has any experience with one?
I had a multiple stage reverse osmosis enhancement that I installed on a sink back in the day. It just made me thirsty all the time and gave my piss an unusual color/smell. Probably leached something out of me. -

At work I looked behind the water dispenser, saw a reverse osmosis enhancement.
Got a PPM meter.
Tap water was about 170 PPM?
My enhancemented water was 160 PPM?
Barely a dent made right?
That water from work… 9 fucking PPM!
Hmm idk man. I had https://reverseosmosis.com/collections/watts-premier-enhancements/products/watts-premier-ro-pure-reverse-osmosis-system and I think the water from it was just too devoid of anything to be healthy. Real RO water leaches anything it touches, and takes a while to pull through the ro membrane depending on how many microns its enhancementing.
Haven't bought another one since. -

Tell me more. Because I was of the impression that pure H2O will suck up shit it comes into contact with should the shit be soluble in water in any amount. I was of the impression that this is why we prepare things in glass and not in metal.
p.s. I would never boil RO water in a metal pot. I would totally boil it in a glass kettle to make tea, but I would never even put it in a metal container. Now that I think about it, what kind of plastic is used in those RO enhancements? Are we sure we arent getting microplastics and xenoestrogens in the water? -

a gram of salt is just as soluble in a litre of 0.0001% salt water as it will be soluble in a liter of 0.00% salt water. -

and distilled water is the most neutral and pure form of water.
distilled water and RO are similar yet different. Both are relatively pure, but distillation can carry over impurities if your equipment or procedure are not great. You can distill something with similar boiling points and then have contaminants. RO pushes shit through a membrane, where everything too big to pass does not, but anything too small also passes, hence why a good RO setup will have more than just a membrane enhancement. -

why not ?
unless your RO machine oxygenates your water theres not much differences between tap water and RO water or distilled water. -

what else boils at 100°C ? -

I don't know, this is just an example that theoretically, you could have something else in your water that boils around there (as unlikely as that might be), which you could also distill if you're not careful enough.
As far as solubility in tap water vs RO water, there is a difference, as microscopic as it might be. If you have a volume of pure H2O touching something, then only water will touch/potentially dissolve some. If the water already has a solute, then that solute will technically decrease the amount of times that H2O touches that something that can also dissolve.
Is this significant on a large scale? Probably not. But this could probably affect the time that it takes to dissolve more shit on some small level. All of this depends on temperature as well of course. -
