I used our well water on our freshwater tank when I first got it, didn't take long for the first round of fish to die. I then tried switching to distilled water, couldn't find RO/DI around like the OP, and we don't have enough water to run an RO/DI unit (would need a reservoir i the house....). I buy the distilled water from a local shop that produces it (I have also worked there in the past). it made the world of a difference to the freshwater tank.
When it came to filling the salt water tank (total of 60 gallons), it was a no brainer to use the same type of water, and things look good (knock on wood). Yes there is a regular cost to the distilled water, and a pain in the... to pick up and carry the jugs in regularly, but the end result for my situation is worth it.
