    this is probably less relevant than it seems... if you are patient on the initial fill, it does not really matter...

    I bought the six stage r/o di system from the filter guys. Hooked it up in my laundy room cabinet. Started using the water the next day and within a week my green hair algae ,and some other kind of grass that was growing uncontollably, was gone. I quess the ro water I was buying at my lfs was not that good. I would reccomend this filter to anybody.

    Nothing comes close to Spectrapure when it comes to reef quality RO/DI systems.
    SpectraPure Customer Appreciation SALE! 20% - 50% off

    The Pro Plus at $149 is a steal and the MaxCap is the Cadillac of the industry all others try to imitate. I've tried them all and would never use anything else again.

    RO/DI gives you consistency which is something not found in tap water.

    On the main 3 Reef page, go down towards the bottom to the Sponsors forums and read the Sticky Posts at the top of the Spectrapure page, they will answer a ton of questions you may have and make you a more informed buyer.
