When I asked the guy at my LFS what the safest way to lower the pH/soften the water to a level most comfortable for German Rams was (I'm looking into getting a couple, but not until I'm sure I can get my tank in peak condition, because I hear they're somewhat fragile) He advised that the Tap Water Purifier by API was the best way to go if I didn't want to go for a full-blown RO system, which he said Rams don't necessarily need.
The fact that the purifier is $30 instead of $200 is probably the most attractive aspect, though I'm not really sure what I would forfeit in getting the cheaper option. Has anyone used this product before? Is it something common that I've just completely missed out on, or is it just another waste-of-money contraption?
Also, what's the difference between this purifier and, say, the one that filters the water that comes out of the fridge? Or one of those Brita/PUR pitchers?
If anyone could get me some inside information I'd appreciate it.
