A few months ago I had some water tested that had past through an RO membrane and some water that had passed through both the RO and the resin chamber.
The results were that the RO water was virtually devoid of anything, but the DI water had a whole array of contaminants, namely: PCBs, benzene, asbestos, heavy metals, azo dyes, isopropyl alcohol, malonic acid, wheel bearing grease, motor oil, dissolved plastic and rubber, iron cyanides, methylene blue and a radioactive element.
There were other chemicals but these components of the DI water in particular have been noted for their suppression of the immune system. They were present in microscopic amounts but not so small as to be insignificant. Our bodies will slowly accumulate these toxins. Many diseases are a direct result of immune suppression including the big nasty one.
Anyway, since then I’ve been cleaning with just RO water (2-5 tds). Anyone else doing the same?
