@livslillies The only water filter jug I know can give water equivalent to distilled water is a Zero Water Filter Jug.

Culligan ZeroWater 12-Cup Ready-Pour 5-Stage Water Filter Pitcher Dispenser with 5-Stage 0 TDS Water Filter โ€“ IAPMO Certified to Reduce Lead, Chromium, and PFOA/PFOS https://a.co/d/ihWP09o


I use a water distiller which I find a great convenient alternative to buying distilled water despite the initial outlay. I have discussed distilled water and alternatives in old posts at #cpclubthursday. There are various models however this one I find does a good job

VEVOR Water Distiller, 304 Stainless Steel Countertop Water Stiller, 0.3Gal/H, 0-99H Timing Dual Temp Display, 1.1Gal Distilled Water Maker Machine, Glass Carafe, 3 Carbon Bags, Citric Acid Powder https://a.co/d/856VrZ6

Clean rainwater is a great cheap alternative
I havenโ€™t used it yet but I also bought a zero water filter. Iโ€™ll try it out after I finished the jugs I bought at Walmart. The YouTuber I watched recommended it.
If you're in the UK there's also a Glaswegian company called Phoxx Water which are fab! Theyve made a real effort to cut the environmental hazard of constantly replacing filters, and they make one that's compatible with a Brita as well ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ˜‚ you can get there different kinds of filter... "boosted" water for yourself (adds calcium and magnesium into your tap water), "clean" water for your plants (same spec as Zero) or "softened" for those in hard water areas.

So I have two! Lol one for my partner and one for my plants ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ xx
I have never used the product you mentioned, but as someone with a good number of CPs, I use a water distiller daily. It produces water that is safe for all my CP, and I also use it with my orchids, which I find a bit fussy. Although the initial expense is higher, if you are someone who grows a lot of CPs, then itโ€™s definitely worth the investment. I have the distiller @Seymour mentioned, and have been very happy with it.
@omnomnom what is a zero water filter ? do you have a link ? :)
@Seymour how cool ! i will have to look into that, does it come with replacement parts ?
@livslillies this is what I bought

@livslillies are you referring to the water distiller? No replacement parts needed.
As for the Zero Water filter, you can buy the replacement t filters. One of the reasons I prefer a water distiller as it needs no replacement parts except for citric acid to aid with cleaning the gunk left in the pot after distilling, that all !
