Water

Yep for $59 shipped, that RO membrane should last at least 3 years, but the carbon and sediment filter need to be changed yearly, although they are inexpensive.
 
After using an RO filter for about 20 years, its the first thing I would install on any house I move in to. Where I live it would be a real challenge to find any RO water for sale.
 
Boiling the water is not advisable. Boiling the water is not distilling it. The distilled water is the steam that escapes as it boils. Any water left in the pot is not only NOT distilled, you have now concentrated and minerals, toxins, or contaminates. It simply isn't practical to distill water on the stove too. RO systems are a great investment and are better for your plants. Distilled water maybe cheaper in the long run, as RO systems waste a lot of water, rejecting 50% or more. If you pay for your water, than RO may be impractical. Distilled water is less than $1 a gallon and you shouldn't need more than a couple gallons a week.
Actually, there are RO systems that return the waste water into your house plumbing so it does get used before really going down the drain.
