There's plenty of water in NYS, but drinking water is from deep
aquafers or private wells which doesn't require purification. My water
is from my own well and is clean but still I treat it myself; all
water entering is treated with a UV lamp, then is filtered for
sediment, goes through a water softener, and drinking water goes
through an RO filter where it's further first filtered for sediment
and passes through a charcoal filter to remove any odor. Just this
week I had a second storage tank added for the RO water so I'd have
enough for my new larger humidifier... buying distilled water gets
expensive and is a pain to lug from the store, plus stores don't stock
enough.
