RO/DI water

[lwilliams8]

I am thinking of purchasing a RO/Di system for our home since there isn't a LFS close to us. I know there are alot of experts here on this kinda stuff so I thought I would start here. I have read several things on DIY but I am kind of wary about those. I found a coral life 24 gal/day 3 stage. anyone have any input on this? Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!

i looked at a ro three stage system at lowes. it has a storeage tank and faucet with it and the 3 filters for 159. I may go this way but I would have to plumb it in somewhere because I wouldn't want it under our sink.

All the RO/DI systems are not created equal. Some come with a RO membranes and higher GPD rates. Check out this system by Bulk Reef Supply:
5 Stage Reverse Osmosis Deionization System Bulk Reef Supply
You get much more with this system than the one you can get at Lowe's.

I believe that we have a group buy going till the end of today at BRS. Contact [email protected] to get you added to the list of participants.

I bought this one years ago (was a lot cheaper) and I have been very happy. Filter Direct Online Store (C)
However, I ended up adding a bigger DI cartledge for a much longer interval between resin exchanges and changed out 100 GPD to 75 GPD (a new membrane and a new fitting) for a better capture ratio.
