    RO is cheaper by the gallon than distilled, but not as pure!

    You can use either one. Distilled water is purified by distillation (evaporation and condensation) and R.O. water is purified by being filtered through a carbon block and then squeezed through a semi-permeable membrane that only lets the smaller, water molecules pass through while blocking the larger impurities.
