    Just bought this ReefMaster RO/DI unit for $90.00...It seemed like a good value. It was used and the filters are three months old.
    Any comments on this brand?
    Any suggestions on installation?
    I have a pantry with some exposed water pipes...I was thinking of just building a little table and mounting on the wall there, and then just filling my 5 gal. bottles from the unit?
    ..and what is the auto top off valve? it came with coralife auto top off valve.
    Thanx in advance.

    Your ATO valve would go into a sump. When the water level falls it will turn on automatically. Kinda like a toilet valve. Not quite sure about the brand though. Have you looked into the price of replacement cannisters(filters) for it?

    Well as the great Tangster has said time and time again RO units are mostly the same. Some are white, some are clear. It's the filters you put in them that make the difference. I'd say if you got the unit with a top off valve you didn't get hurt any. I sold my used GE for $30 but it definitely needed filters and it was just a two stage plus RO membrane.
