...not a drop for the aquarium. Why? Water is the main environment for living creatures in the reef tank, so it needs to be ultra clean water. Bonner Springs water is extremely hard, so we have to soften it. That means salt, but unfortunately water softeners don't use the right kind of salt.
After much research I settled on a RO/DI made by Kent Maxxima24. 24 means 24 gallons a day, 24 gallons a day means more than 4.5 continuous days to 'make' water for the aquarium.
I got the system on eBay and then ordered the filters, resin, etc. from http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/ Ryan was extremely helpful answering questions and ensuring me I could modify the unit to an output of 75 gallons a day. Down to a day and a half- woohoo!
