What kinda water do you use in your MistKings system?

Why not just buy distilled water at the store? It is cheap. You don't have to mist that often, so it will last a while. On my chams' system, a five gallon bucket last well more than a week. Distilled water is cheap, easy to get and store. I would not invest in an RO unit unless I needed a lot of water, like for a frog collection or if I was making saltwater for a reef system. For a single BP, it seems like overkill to me.

Ya I mean, it would be for 2 BPs and a forest enclosure I set up for some little turtles. Haven't yet decided if getting the unit is justified. I'm moving one of the BPs from a exoterra terrarium to an AP cage in the next couple of months, so that should lower water usage significantly.
