    I was looking to purchase a new Ro/Di unit for my 40 gallon. While I was reading another post in our forums, I came across this link with Ro/Di for sale. The price was Amazing! Seems to good to be true! I wanted to know what you guys thought about it, and if it worth my investment. My last one was a low quality 2 stage unit that helped but was'nt enough. Thanks for the input!

    Here is the link to the new unit:

    100 Gallon Per  Day Reef 6 stage 2 OUTPUT Reverse Osmosis

    + 0 ppm (DI)De-Ionized filter + Needle valve

    Some ppl here have bought from them and are happy with it. Try asking around or searching for it. I have posted that company before but never purchased one from them, so I cant give my opinion. Luna

    Thanks Luna. Ive seen similar units go for 3x that amount! Wasn't sure if it was a complete set or not. I read the whole thing myself and yet was still curious about the low price. If anyone has bought from them, or even owns this same product please let me know what you think/and or if i need anything else to go along with it.

    From what I've heard so far, they come complete ready to install. The price goes a little higher b/c ppl get extra filters(to have on hand), holding tanks and the such. They are a lot cheaper b/c they are a no name brand. Start a new thread asking " Has anyone bought from Purewaterclub"? You'll get a better response. Luna

    the ratio can vary but usually 4:1 or 3:1 if i remember correctly.

    I use a power unit due to the fact we use so much, I have seen some afordable 1:1 units out for around 350 (I paid quite a bit more for mine), up to you water is expensive due to the fact you pay for 1 gal water = 1 gal of sanitay unless you have a second meter. Also why waste water. 400 gal waste for 100 gal of ro water hmmm you make the call.
