It really depends on you tap water quality. It's not good if you have hard water, requires more frequent filter changes. Either way, I would say that an RO/DI system would give you water that is more pure. However, I have one and love the fact that it does not produce any waste water. I also add two TWP after the Kold Steril filter.

I run my tap water through a polyfilter about 18 hours (more or less) before adding to the tank. I still have an algae problem, though, so don't know if it helps!
Since my tap water comes from a limestone aquafer I prefer not to "strip" it of all its granduer; it is chock full of calcium and bicarbonate hardness! Anyway, that's MY choice; critters seem to thrive as long as I'm keeping the algae at bay!
