I have plans on buying a used RODI. I have 90 gallon tank. I will need a booster which I will buy new and it will be the 8800. My question is the types of RODI systems. One is an aquasafe 5 stage, tds and pressure gauge. I wanted a clear housing and the guy that I am purchasing it from states he has extra housings that will fit. I told him I wanted good quality filters and was told the BRS filters will work in the aquasafe. This sounds pretty good since he is located in my home town. $75 buys it. I can get an 8800 off ebay for around $90. The other place in Ohio has a BRS 4 stage, pressure gauge, 75gpd, same as the other one, and same price. Yes, I would need to change the filters. I need to know which filters to replace as some DI are refillable. Not a lot of rust in my water, running a well. I know BRS is good, but also was told aquasafe is good. Really, if I can just use BRS filters in the aquasafe, why not go with this one? Opinions?

As far as filters go Spectrapure is where I buy mine.
With a well you have to watch for CO 2 in the water, I believe it will burn up DI filters real quick.
There are 3 sponsors of RO units on RC and any one would be able to help out.

Filters are interchangeable between units, membranes are also but if you change the gallon rating you will need a new flow restrictor.
