Yes but,...... : ) its bad for your teeth!!!!


No, not really.
You get Ca and CO3 from other sources and brushing will help more than
the water.
The notion that pure water will remove the CaCO3 from your teeth is
pretty weak.

You eat acidic foods that can dissolve the enamel, eg soda pop/vingar
etc are worse that RO water. The bacterial biofilm produces lots of
acids which cause the caries so brush morning and at night.

Water with a little Ca, CO3, SO4 taste better than pure water but you
can blend the RO with a little tap. They oftren call this "Spring
water".
All things being equal, the spring water is better, but that is not
going to cause any differences in teeth rot. Your general diet and
personal hygine plays a much larger role.

If taste is the main thing, use a Carbon block filter.
