    I have the bulk reef supply 7 stage RO/DI system. It ownz :) I think they have the best customer service, cause im always calling wanting this and that. They tell me its a waste of money, i dont need to buy more stuff lol.


    they dont make the 7 stage model but if u call them and ask them to put one together, they'll ship you one

    good luck

    If money is no object, i belive the best one on the market is either the SpectraPURE UHE

    or this bad boy from bulkreefsupply ;D

    Most RODI units are made of pretty similar materials, just make sure you're getting good quality filters and good fittings. I don't have any experience with Air, Water, Ice but tons of people use them so I assume they must do something right.
    I'm a huge BRS fan though, I've never had a bad experience with any of their products and everything seems to be of very high quality and great prices.
    Just make sure you get at least 4 stages (one DI) and a dual TDS meter, the auto-shutoff kit from BRS makes life a ton easier and for like $20 it's worth it to not have to worry about floods.

    I hope to one day as well.,.,
    The replacement fast flush valve just came in and I will be testing it. Hopefully my problem goes away.


    Dufresne, are you only using the RO/DO output or do you also use the RO only out ?

    Cheers

    I ust the 5 stage plus from bulk reef supply with the level lock top off. I think they are running a special this month, they will upgrade you to a dual di chamber free of charge with the 5 stage plus.

    I love my 5 stage from Bulk Reef Supply! Great price and easy to get new filters.
