You can get an RO machine for £60 on ebay, you'll need mains pressure or a water pump to feed the filters though.

No mate it's filtered water using osmosis all an airstone will do is oxygenate your water all the minerals and pollutants will still be in there.

Best thing to do is get an PPM/EC/TDS meter & test the water in your locale, no point in speculating until you have a reason too. If you plan on keeping organic nutrients pre mixed in a barrel, you should get the Airpump & stone either way.
