RO/DI Unit

[jadendo]

Hi,

After 5 months using drinking RO water from the store, I have decided to buy a RO/DI unit. I need your suggestions on which one to buy. My budget is about $150 max. I am looking at this Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Tap Water Filter System for $50.

My tank is 75 gallon. Please help suggest something.

Thanks,

I'm not familiar with it, but look at bulk reef supply. 5 stage RO/DI 159$

If u get in on a group buy on their sponsor page, you'll get it for 144 I think.

You should save your money and buy a ro/di. I believe that filter is only rated for about 100 gallons depending on you tds in let water. It is basicaly a di filter.

Check out Bulk Reef's forum there always is a group buy going on and you can get a 75 gpd for $144. Will be way cheaper in the long run. You might need more then one of those cartridges just to get your tank filled, but I have read else where that you can recharge them.

I wouldn't buy that. It's pretty much junk unless you have a really small tank.

+1 on the Bulk reef supply unit.

BRS 75GPD RODI... For $160, you can't top it.

The BSR 75GPD looks great. I'll go with that.

If you need some help figuring out the set up specific to your situation, be glad to help you.

I have narrowed down to either one of these:

BRS 75GPD 5 stage or TYPHOON 5 Stage.

BRS. You'll be really happy

I can confirm that the BRS 75GPD units are a great value and are reliable. Have one at the office and one at home. Easy to maintain too.

I just ordered the 5 Stage 75GPD with a handheld TDS meter with group buy discount.
There goes my ipad2 budget, but it's not too bad.

My BRS 5 Stage 75GPD just arrived last night. Man.. I am impressed with the quality of this RO/DI unit. My water source has 335ppm TDS. My drinking water has 11-15 TDS. RO/DI water is 0ppm TDS. My fishies are happy campers. If I knew this ealier, I would buy this unit to make drinking water instead of buying the Costco unit for 300 bucks.
