RO Filtration

richie6 · Nov 3, 2016

Has anyone used a RO Filtration from Lowes? Looking into buying a RO unit, but like the options of having a 3 gallon tank, faucet, notifications when to change.

That would work great.....for drinking water.

Typically the triple stage for drinking water is 2 before and one after, which isn't what you want for a reef . Also you are going to change the 3 x 2.5" filters every 6 months no matter what system you get. Also you probably want a di stage anyways . You can always add the 3 gallon canister Ala carte (I did) . Brs makes some very competitive units , I'm happy with mine. Also spectra pure makes some nice ones. With brs you can always upgrade later, and they send me emails when it's time to replace my filters . Plus brs gives you every part you could ever need in their kits .
