J-Dog Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Does anyone out there recommend a good RO/DI filter system? I bought a super cheap one on Ebay, so I don't think it is giving me the best quality water. My diatom problem doesn't seem to be getting any better, so I want to start eliminating each issue, 1-by-1, to figure out what's causing them. First step, better water filter.....so please let me know if u can recommend something that isn't super expensive, thanks. (clap) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan in salem Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Check out bulk reef supply. They have great RODI systems that are solid. A spectrapure thats worked great but costs a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyK Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 What matters about an RO/DI are the filters that are used in each system. You can assemble that unit as you desire. I would recomend two places to call. Air water and ice and the Filters Guys. Both places offer great prices and great service and great knowledge. I have used both in the past and been very happy with each. I recently ordered from air water and ice and they offered free shipping to club members.

pnkrcklives Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Just check your water with a TDS meter it will tell you what is coming in and out of the unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akambience Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 You can probably borrow a TDS meter from your LFS. I have a few times, some of the handheld units can get spendy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnkrcklives Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I use something like this http://www.thefilterguys.biz/tds_meters.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRENT Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I also would go with TheFilterguys. They have some of the best customer service. They answered the phone every time I have called and very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradth Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 You can also get hand held tds meters for less than 20 bucks. I think its more about the filters than the unit. I got mine from purewaterclub.com. Served me well for a couple of years now. Just keep an eye on your TDS and change your filters when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barelycuda Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I have a unit from air water & ice. I have been very pleased and their customer service has been great. I bought a used unit a while back and the SOV stopped working. They replaced it free of charge even though I bought it used. I bought another new unit from them with the dual inline TDS meter and love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
