Arrow Can't Find RO/DI Vendor

Okay, about a year ago I read a thread on a forum (can't remember which) where people were discussing vendors who sell RO/DI equipment and setups. Someone posted a link to a mom and pop vendor with a not-so-memorable name that they had a really great experience from. From what I remember, it was operated by a couple out of their house and they had been doing it for 20+ years. They had really great prices, top quality setups, and an extremely informative website (they explained the design principles of why they included bypass valves and other equipment that you wouldn't find in their competitor's kits).

Now, for the life of me, I can't find it. Does anyone know who I'm thinking of? I want to get a drinking water add-on kit for my existing RO/DI setup. I have a 75GPD 5-stage from BRS and would be happy to just use their addon kit, but it doesn't seem to be available at the moment: http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store/...water-kit.html

I also want to compare the prices and available equipment of this phantom perfect vendor to BRS before I restock my filters too. Any leads are much appreciated.

I'm aware of Air Water Ice, Buckeye Field Supply, The Filter Guys, and even found a little operation called http://www.abundantflowwater.com, but they're all definitely not who I'm looking for.

FWIW, I remember specifically that the person who mentioned them said that they were extremely helpful over the phone and that they would even look up your local water quality info to help you select a system.

where i got to shop

PREMIER WATER SYSTEMS worked perfect for me. They have an ebay store and an online store. I did first contact them through ebay but wound up making an order through the number on thier online site. I couldnt beat thier price if I bought in bulk built two and divided by 2 and sold one for half the total cost. They shipped it and I recieved it the same week. They custom build to your specs or order a prebuilt one off ebay. They sent me a replacement housing because one of mine had a chip in it altho not leaking. I recieved that promptly the next week after sending them photos. Was very helpful with my questions and had a working knowledge of the system, obviously the same guy building them was answering the phones. An excellent deallings in my book A++++ seller and professional.
