Any recommendations on a good rodi unit?

How much do they go for and was it a easy install? I'm currently using a aquaticlife twist in but looking to get a better unit

I have the 5 stage, 150 gallon per day. Very easy to install, cost $250, on sale now for $234

I have a BRS unit. It has a sediment filter followed by two carbon blocks then the RO membrane, followed by two DI resin canisters. The membrane is 75 gpd and may actually produce a bit more than that. The sediment filters and carbon blocks are cheap. They protect the RO membrane so I figure the more the merrier. I run two resin canisters because I can fully deplete a canister and still get 0 tds water. That way I do not waste resin. I use the color changing resin. BRS has all sorts of videos to show you how to set things up. My house water pressure is not real high, about 65 psi, but the unit performs well. My water's tds is about 150. It comes out of the RO membrane at 2 tds. Resin is probably the highest expense item, so having an efficient membrane to produce the lowest tds water post membrane works well in the long run. I use a 44 gallon Brute trash can for RODI water storage. I wish I had gone with the 55 gallon. I would suggest that you go with a storage unit that is on the large size. Oh and be sure you get an auto shut off on your storage container. If you don't have one, you will have floods.

Now many people really like the Spectrapure line. Their membranes are supposed to be very efficient. You might give them a look.

Also the system you get might be influenced by the tds of your water. If your tds is low, less than 100, you probably can get by with any decent basic unit. If you have high tds water, like over 500, and you need to produce a lot of water, you might want to look into a more elaborate system.

I'll have to look into the brs units i have a 30 gal water storage drum i stock and mix my water in currently! I'm in nyc my tds in my water is very low on average between 30-60 ppm and i live in a apartment building so my pressure is great not sure how high but def exceeds the min
