Thank you, but there are so many!
I'm in the UK and a quick Google shows that I can get one for £40 or I can pay upwards of £300. Am I to assume that the £40 won't provide an effective supply for a 200 litre aquarium?

Cheers

You want to look for a quality unit. All vertical canisters, (except the membrane). The DI should be in the same type of canister as the pre-filters. Don't get one with a horizontal DI canister. The unit should have a sediment filter to a carbon filter, to the membrane, then to a DI canister. Also at the least, a dual TDS meter. Mine also has a pressure gauge after the two pre-filters.

Great thanks! Are any manufacturers that stand out?

I don't know what you have over there, but the link I posted in the first post manufactures their own. They are a sponsor here and I know they stand behind their stuff and have great customer service. I built my own out of a few past units I owned. Spectrapure is what most of it is made of.
