NoobtoSalt Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 So I know this company isn't a sponsor on here but wanted to know if anyone on here has one of their units or has ever used one? I'm trying to figure out why not to get one of these cheaper units? They have a 5 stage RO/DI unit for as low as $92 with the membranes and a 6 stage 150 GPD for $112.

jgf86123 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Is it a RO/DI system or just an RO system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 RO/DI...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 That's a might cheap price, I'm not sure if it's worth it going that cheap, you might end up replacing parts constantly...... Air Water and Ice make an awesome product at a helluva good price, they're worth looking into for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I could PM them to see what makes their product so much better based on price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Quality, you ALWAYS pay more for quality products as opposed to run of the mill stuff :P Come on man, you watch infomercials :P The good stuff is always more expensive :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really from what I've seen the fitting that the first one I was mentioning doesn't come with anything fancy so that's a huge minus for it but other than that aren't these things all equal?

CA2OR Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Re: RO/DI system questions? I would check it out....seems the price is totally right. Check into warranty, I think its worth it....I mean what all parts are there? Membranes, hoses, seals, how much can possibly fail. Personally I would do it. Besides, I have seen infomercials for Intel and Mercedes....so does that mean they suck? Got my Ultimate Chopper from an infomertial and you know what....every kitchen keen individual that comes over and sees or uses it is totally impressed.

Thanks, I'm glad that someone on here has used one and had good results. I'm just trying to figure out the get what you pay for does in this instance.

chewie Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 My only complaint would be the use of JACO fittings as opposed to John Guest speedfit connectors. The "JG" style fittings make any maintenance very simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoobtoSalt Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 I'm looking to order this in the next day or so, Anyone else have any suggestions as to what fittings I should get? I'm going to hold off on the inline TDS meter for now but will get one in the future. I have a hand held one for the current time. Could I get away with the needle fittings for the initial startup and just change them out in a month or so, or should I just spend the extra $20 on the other fittings?

NoobtoSalt Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 Oh and the other question is which one should I get? 75, 100, 150? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeFit Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 75g should be plenty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 Yeah, that's what I was leaning towards but I wasn't sure if this should be a go big or go home type thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradth Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I have the 6 stage 150 per day one from purewaterclub. Works really well, after about a year I just replaced everything but the RO membrane and everything read 000 tds. I did have a issue with the DI resin in the 2 DI tubes being low and caused my water to go to like 20 tds. I contaced Dave at Purewater and he promptly send me some new DI resin free in about 3 days. Just got it packed back in and its reading 000 tds again. Plus they offer free shipping right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 Nice to hear they take care of their customers. Are you using the needle fitting and if so does it leak at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoobtoSalt Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Well almost 2 months later I finally just ordered it. Should be here in 2-5 business days. I will let everyone know how it works out. I decided to get the larger unit. Don't need it at all but I figure that if I do ever get a larger tank it would be nice. 150gpd here I come!!!

Rapture Rabbit Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I have the same one from the same place...it was recommended by Davey of Davey Jones Locker. I haven't hooked it up yet though...it's been months. (tee-hee) So I hope all goes well. The membrane is still sealed though... I don't think that what is meant by, "Nothing good happens fast in this hobby"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
