the deionization unit adds 25% to the cost, so I'm wondering how much value does it really add

Depends on what it is in your water that the RO unit wouldn't get out. I think that for most places that would be extreme overkill. It will leave your water pretty tasteless.

Jack certainly offers valid suggestions, and I may just be too old school, ignorant to GET the question.
25% added to what cost? The plumbing and installation? The water bill? Medical bills incurred from NON system water?
I'm even more curious about how one equates purification for assumed health benefits; to any cost of install or costs for use.
No offense, and not knowing at all where you are; or where your household water comes from; I've been on tap water since I was a baby, and at 64, have never suffered any ill effects.

The overall performance of a undeniable water purification gadget could nicely be actual established by utilising reviewing it‘s overall performance information Sheet which lists each and every of the contaminants the gadget is qualified to do away with and to what diploma. The regulation in California and a variety of of different different states demands that this information be secure as element of the business enterprise‘s literature as nicely because of the fact the persevering with substitute cartridge value‚ and that a duplicate be enclosed with each and every product. usually this information would be available on a manufacturers internet website except they don't seem to be too happy with it. some manufacturers do not make this information available because it facilitates an undemanding assessment with different valid products.
