One of my businesses bottles and sell water in one gallon jugs under our own 
name.  We also let customers refill 1 gallon jugs.

We process our tap water with a reverse osmosis system.  No complaints so far, 
although we do start with tap water that is right off the mountain and crystal 
clear.  Some people feel guilty drinking tap water, so they are willing to pay 
out cash for the inconvenience of having it in a bottle.  Profits from this 
"scam" support amplifiers.  

Need to check the conductivity sometime.  What is good and bad conductivity, 
and can I use an ohmmeter or do I need something special?
