RO/DI system recommendation

[DerekB4]

I’m looking fo an RO/DI system and am kinda lost. So looking for recommendations.

I have a Red Sea xl 200 has around 55 total water volume. I’m thinking about hooking it up with laundry room hose. The city I live in has pretty terrible so I’m assuming I need at least 5 stage. I’m thinking I’ll need a tds meter.

Im thinking of the BRS 5 state premium plus 100gpd system. Seems like it comes with all the accessories.

or

The Kleanwater 6 stage unit with tds meter from Marine Depot. Wondering if the 15% discount on filters is worth paying a little more upfront.

or

Or is there another unit for $300 or under that would be better.

I use the BRS 5 stage 75gpd. Love it.

You won’t need more than a 75 gallon unit with that small of a tank. I have the BRS 6 stage with a booster pump. Best to keep the water pressure about 75 psi pushing through the RO membrane.

I’d go with the aquamaxx puratek unit

I would go with a spectrapure or a buckeye hydro system. Call them with what your water source is and they will help you select the system you need.

I use the BRS 5 stage 75gph as well. I did a lot of research and the filters brs uses are far superior to what I was getting on my other rodi system. I am sure there are some other good ones out there but at the prices BRS has on theirs why go anywhere else.

Thanks for the recommendations. Think I’m going to go with the BRS unit

the 5 stage is what I bought but upgraded to the 3 stage di so I guess it is now a 7 stage

I love the 75gpd system I got from liquagen. I opted for this version which includes a small reservoir, drinking water stage, and faucet to install in your sink. The drinking water from this is amazing and rivals any bottled water out there. I also love the idea of 2-for-1; something for your fish and something you can benefit from as well. The reservoir is nice because you can get almost 3 gallons of DI water instantly. My ATO is 5 gallons so when I need to refill it I only have to wait for 2 more gallons (assuming it’s completely empty). It comes with the shut off and flush valves installed, so that eliminates some of the install headaches with some other units.
