What RODI unit do you use?

[larryandlaura]

I was wondering what make and how many gpd everyone is using? And any pro vs cons of your unit. Thanks in advance.

I've always bought my RODI units from The Filter Guys . I've always used: OCEAN REEF + 1 FIVE STAGE 75 GPD RO/DI . Here is a pic:

The Pros are that the water quality is great, filters are easy to change, and it is easy to hook-up.

The Cons are that I have flooded the basement with it several times (easily avoidable if I had made an auto shut-off or something like that, and doesn't really have to do with the unit itself)

The guys who work there are great and they will have your unit shipped in a few days.

Sweet setup. Im thinking a spectrapure 90 gpd. Keep them coming people.

I have used several different types over the years, but my favorite is the BRS 5 stage. I get great life from the membrane and I don't have to change the filters quite as often. It seems like they hold more than others.

I make a lot of water, so I upgraded to the 150gpd system and set it up to recycle the waste water. I have the booster pump as well, and my setup works flawlessly (knock on wood) The only problem I have had with it is I cut my TDS tester line accidentally. I can splice the line, but I figured a but connector might mess up the signal so I plan to buy a new "In" wire and redo it. The "Out line isn't connected so it still works just fine, and I can monitor it, and I have a handheld TDS to double check it.

It fills my rubbermade brute in just a few hours and meets all my water needs.

I also should note, that I don't use the Deionization filter. R/O water is already like a magnet ready to suck up atmospheric pollution. Deionize the molecules seems counter intuitive to keeping pure water pure. But then again I don't use my water right away. I don't need it sitting in an container pulling anything with an Ion out of the air just to regain molecular balance.... Also, I personally think it removes specific minerals that are better left in.

All in all, I love my BRS unit, and don't see myself changing anytime soon.

How many gpd?

[Sir Patrick]

I use this 9 year old E-Bay brand with good filters and membranes from sponcers instead of the e-bay brands they came with.



75 GPD- No DI.

I will be adding a DI stage eventually.
