    not unlike mine...but with tangsters suggestion and some homework...I mounted the horizontal DI verticle...working like a charm....I use the inline TDS meter...with the ASOV.
    Love it...the structure is all simular..its the micron count in the filters that mean the most...So I have learned.
    Go for it. : )

    Thanks LG. I am not at all familiar with the units as I have always bought my water at the LFS and I am getting everything I need for this new build. I hear they are super easy to operate. I sure hope so. I am not going to go with auto top off as I don't have the plumbing any where close so I guess I'll get the faucet hook up for it.

    I would prob get one with or add a horizontal DI chamber, better resin life and better at removing the nasties.

    Looks like the picture shows it has the secondary horizontal DI...the one on top of the membrane...thats the one I uncliped and cliped on the wall in a vertical position...even better resin life.....the primary DI chamber..third in the row of the three horizontal chambers, I have the refillable DI cartridge in it, saves allot'o money.:)
    But I must also mention..there are many other/better? types of RO/DI units...price ...cash is king :p
    scenerio... Its easy...once you figure what its do'n...just Pm me if ya got any questions...might save ya some money;D
    off to the fight...lets see if Randy got one more in'm

    I use one of the Typhoon III's from Air Water & Ice and love it. I added an additional DI unit on it because the water here in Indiana is awful.

    I have the Typhoon III 75 GPD. Great setup. Standard filters, ASOV, comes with TDS meter.
