Tunze ATO or BRS RO/DI 75GPD

[Frank_PR]

Which equipment should I buy first the Tunze Osmolator 3155 ($170) or the BRS RO/DI 75GPD ($140), both on Black Friday special. I currently purchase from my LFS 15 gallons of water every two weeks and is 10 minutes from my house. Probably the most practical equipment is the RO/DI unit but the ATO will also make my life easier since TO is an everyday job.

Thanks

both.

rodi first if it has to be between one or the other.

Sadly my budget is limited to one, the rodi is $60 off.

Thanks

Ro/DI first. Need ro/DI water to use the ATO. Lol.

The only good thing from purchasing the water from my LFS is that I also see the new inventory and occasionally bring home a new frag. Lol

I saw a 25% sale for an online vendor that included Tunze ATOs. Puts them at $150. That was last week. It's over now, but I'm assuming you might see something similar tomorrow. That'll save you a fee more dollars.

RODI will save you money. That means you'll be buying your ATO sooner. It makes absolutely no sense to buy the ATO first and continue to pay for water from the LFS. That just means you'll be that much further from getting your own RODI and you'll be spending more money.
