ro/di units, help me decide?!?! there are so many!!!

I bought the typhoon 5 stage from air water and ice and produces 75 gpd. I also bought the dual in line tds meter from them and I tell you will not be disappointed. They say zero tds coming out and they mean it. I highly recommend it.

 

Yup, I shopped around before buying mine and they had a good price for what you get (and there good). Dont know now but still should have a good price.

 

I wouldn't get the ebay one, simply b/c it uses a horizontal (less efficient) DI container.
I'm not sure anyone with decent tap water needs a 7 stage setup.
I'd only recommend 2 sediment filters if you have well water and it's heavy with minerals.
Use of a TDS meter will tell you when DI resin is totally out (if you don't get the color-changing resin), so not sure what the heck anyone NEEDS 2 DI canisters for?
I agree a 75 gpd membrane is good enough.
I have had excellent customer service from Russ at BuckeyeFieldSupply, and have also heard some great feedback from other 3reef members about Air,Water & Ice.
Good choice to spend your $ on a RO/DI setup. Good Luck.

 

I've heard to change out the DI resin every 6-7 months or so, but it all depends on the amount of usage. The RO membranes should last 2-3 yrs, I think.

 

Good point. I was referring to everything but the RO membrane when I said one year. SOrry about that.

 

i bought mine from pure water club too... i have to say i love it. and it was cheep

 

Go with air, water ice! I haven't heard anything bad about them. I know 2 people that have their units and love them. And to say this for Matt... mention 3reef when ordering, it helps knowing their sponsorship here pays off!!

 

Typhoon III from Air Water & Ice is what I use. I added another DI unit to it because Indiana water sucks
