Purewaterclub ro/di units

Good info-
I could be mistaken but as long as the end result is 0ppm then how you get there is not AS important-

I say AS with other factors being equal-time before swapping out membranes, replacement costs for membranes, resin etc.

You hands down have more experiance than I on these guys. When I decided to get one, all I looked at was the "ad" if it told me it will produce 0ppm and another did the same, but one was 100.00 more.

Well ignorance is bliss-I opted to save the money-in hindsight maybe I got lucky.

I agree with Reefsparky about the"if I would have spent "X" more dollars for the other unit" Man that rang so true in my head when I read itbeen there done that.

I am not sure lucky is the right word, I read somewhere I dont really need an RO/DI unit (although I have one from the Purewater folks), since the water out of the faucet here is supposed to be 10-15ppm. I will know myself in about 3 days when my inline TDS meter shows.
I about died when I read another thread and the water coming out of his hose (in Vegas) was 600ppm, I lived in Phoenix for 5 years and I am sure that water has to be 450+ it tasted like She-Ite, I will assume you live in AZ by your ID-if not dont drink the H2O

Well 7 months without testing the output of my RO/DI unit, Saturday will be intersting-anticipation.

Thanks for the reply, hopefully this helps out Kendron

Take it easy

 

My tap water TDS averages about 830 most times, it can drop into the 600's and go as high as 1200 too. In the east Valley, Mesa, Chandler area it goes as high as 1600. The Spectrapure RO factory is in Tempe where their TDS is in the 1500 range so it gives them an opportunity to test worst case scenarios on every thing they build and prove it out before it hits the market. The Watts Premier facility is less than a mile from my house and they also have a test facility for their drinking water RO systems. Nothing like being able to beta test your products in real world situations.
While our TDS and hardness are quite high the water actually tastes pretty good, I don't hesitate to drink it and I am a treatement plant supervisor by profession.
