i bought a 6-stage apec reverse osmosis system for about $200 on sale. filter replacements are expected to average about $100 per year.

it's replaced all of my bottled water and brita use, not only for drinking water, but also to make flavored drinks like gatorade (much cheaper and friendlier environmentally that way).

How do you replace electrolytes after reverse osmosis?

the 6th stage is a remineralizer, which doesn't add everything back but apparently does make the water taste a little more like water.
