Water Filter

i have a brand new drinking water filter at my house and im going to use it for my 125 gallon fill my question is will the water be of good quality or close to ro quality

 

Depends on what type filter you have at your house ? Many whole house units are water treatment units not filters .

 

its not a whole house unit its the kind you install at the sink for a separate out put

 

Is it the single canister that came with a bracket that you insert a new sediment or carbon aka Taste and order in to the sinks cold water line ? if so nope won't do .. Unless it has 2 of the prefilter chambers and a R/O housing with a membrane inside ?

 

it does have two canisters

 

Thats what I figured you had one holds 10 or 5 mic. sediment filter the 2nd canister holds a 20 to 10 micron Carbon filter , If so that will not do as a water source for a reef tank or any tank really . You need to get a R/O housing and a membrane to connect to that then you would be good to go.. But what you have now has 3/4 MIP taps and you would have to busimng that down to 1/4 in MIP. You may be better off just looking at somthing lkike this http://www.buckeyefieldsupply.com/showproducts.asp?Category=163&Sub=103 and adding a D/I at a later time if loot is a problem ? Like I told someone earlier a few bell and whistles aside there is no difference between a high dollar or low dollar unit they are all the same inside.

 

do you use this unit?

 

No Sir I have installed a few hundred of them for commercial ice and coffee makers and such , This is what you need is something like this R/O their is a 15.00 less under the economy series and you can had a D/I later if need be. or you can look at the R/O D.I combination units as well, A fish tank is 100% water and if you start with the best water you can then you will have less troubles and worries later on.

Thanks, going to purchase the BFS-262 Value Series 150 gpd RO/DI System is this a good choice?

 

Yes its a good unit as they are about all are the same on the inside except for the GPD ratings and unless you need a hell of a lot of water ? I got by with a 50 GPD myself used to be a 100 when she got it and until I changed the membrane and the rejection water capillary . Make sure you get the auto cut off with it..
