My RO�s nurse told me she waned me to drink 2 liters of water a day during treatment. I got cases of 500ml bottled water and pulled 4 out every morning. Before bed I should have finished all 4.
It was a simple system for me, but I did not have a PEG so I�m sure others have different ways of keeping up with the hydration..
