Thumbs up YES! Look what just arrived in the mail

UPS just showed up with my package... I'm pumped! Sh*t's about to get serious now.



I got it (obviously) from BulkReefSupply.com... It was this unit here

Plus, it will beat having to make a 15 minute drive to my buddy's house to bum RO water from him everytime I need to fill my rubbermaid trash can up... So it's win/win/win

I have the same TDS meter on my unit. You will love having that since you won't need to rely on the color changing resin. Are you running (2) carbon filters or (2) pre-filters?

-5 micron depth sediment filter
-5 micron MATRIKX CTO/2 carbon block
-0.6 micron MATRIKX+1 carbon block

I'll take some pics after it's all done up. It doesn't look difficult at all, should be a piece of cake. Since I'm heading to Pittsburgh here in a few hours, I'm gonna hold off until tomorrow to tackle it.

That's funny, I just received this yesterday....



It came with 1 sediment and 2 carbon filters, and then has an RO membrane, and then 2 DI chambers. Picked it up off ebay. Not really sure about the quality, since it was a little cheaper, but figured I'd give it a try and anything would be better than using tap water like I have been for the last 2 years Now to get a TDS meter and see how good this thing really is...although it promises to remove all impurities, so I'll just send it back if it doesn't work

I'm pretty excited about it. I've got it mounted, and it's all ran except for a couple small things... I've got to pick up a saddle valve and some more line to make it to the drain, and I'll be all done. I thought it would be more work setting this up, but it was extremely simple.
