Yendor Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Not sure if I should be posting here or in "Member/Vendor Feedback" ... but since I'm asking and not giving feedback, I'll post here. I've been looking around for an affordable RO/DI unit, and came across this one. It claims 100 gpd for only $169. I can't find a name-brand for it ... thinking it's someone selling their hobby. Does anyone have any experience/opinions? http://www.melevsreef.com/ro_di.html Quote
andy Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Air, Water, Ice is a club sponsor and sells very nice RO/DI units. I have a Typhoon 5-stage and really like it. Quote
defigart Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 If you get a used one, replace ALL the cartridges. I recommend just buying a new one. I know thats not the green thing to do, but it saves the green ($). Quote
dsoz Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Did you notice the error? In the second line... when optimum conditions are met. (60-70 psi, 76° F, TDS >200) TDS GREATER than 200 seems less than optimal conditions. To be correct it should be TDS LESS than 200, or TDS < 200. he he he. dsoz Quote

I was looking at the same unit too. Quote

Andy, I saw that one on their site, it looks nice. Is it rated for 200 GPD? Or did I read that wrong? I really like their stuff, if I was going to buy another one I would probably buy it form them.

andy Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Dunno about the stuff at their site, you should probably check with them to be sure -- I just bought the Typhoon with the 75gpd membranes (I read somewhere that they do a bit better job). Quote
