    I'm currently of thinking of upgrading my RO unit...
    The one I have is a an aquasafecanada RO reef unit and it makes water way to slow...
    I'm looking at a few online but i want to hear from you fellow 3reefers before I go on and purchase one...
    Maybe I can save money from where you reefers got yourz

    the best units IMO are SpectraPure, you can get a 90gpd model via this link for $199, a steal for the quality & performance of the unit: Untitled Document

    It will be the best $ you spend on your tank, I love my 90gpd model, had it for the past year, my tank is a happy tank!

    Nothing compares to Spectrapure. They are the only manufacturer or vendor who treats and bench tests their RO membranes and custom blends all their DI resins for peak performance. The long term cost of ownership is much lower than any othe rsystem on the market no matter what you pay initially.

    I have a MaxCap from Spectrapure, and wouldn't have it any other way.

    The Vertex isn't even close. They are poorly constructed and use low quality parts, not even in the same ballpark.

    I bought a 75gpd unit from Abundant Water Supply online for around $140. Came with a tds meter too
