Ro/di question

[rlklassy]

So im looking into purchasing an RO system.
However .. I was wondering if anyone had a paticular brand and or model that would be best for my tanks and water production needed.
Also.. What do you think of the DI system and are they necessary for the water

what i have is a 90 gallon reef
30 gallon reef
and 29 gal biocube.
thanks.
Sick of driving to the fish store 3 times a week.

Ive been happy with my water generals rd106 I have 400 Tds coming in and 0 going out in my honest opinion di is a must to get the level down to 0. I have been running it for 3 years with no problems you can get them on eBay for like $160

I've been really happy with our air,water,ice rodi and I seem to recall it was pretty inexpensive.

so i want to hook this to my laundry room hookup because i dont care to climb under my little sink and i dont care to drink any of it.. ... when you order the actual system does it come with the filters or am i looking at a huge chunk of change just to start?

oh wow.. and now that im looking on ebay im seeing all kinds of dif things to bring up questions...
theres 7 stage ones with uv sterilizers and all kinds of things.... yikes.
how many stages is actually necessary and what is a must have.. i dont want to spend more on stuff that wont benefit my tank...
like theres these water polisher stages and stuff. phew i feel bad for anyone who helps me with this thing haha...

This is all you really need if you want to buy new. I think the air water ice ones are even cheaper and people seem to really like them. If your not in a hurry someone will probably have a real nice one soon for less than $100. I honestly cant imagine not having one and I only have a 28g tank.

How essential is a tds meter..?

How essential is a tds meter..?

They're not essential to the FUNCTIONING of the RO/DI system, but they can help you determine when something is wrong (i.e. DI resin needs replacing).

Also, when diagnosing any problems with your tank, a TDS meter will allow you to quickly check to see if water quality might be an issue.

Personally, I wouldn't buy an RO/DI system without one.

+1 for air water ice. Exceptional customer service and warranty.

Yep. Try Air Water Ice. great service. Great prices. and you get a club discount.

I would recomend a TDS meter, but like others said, its not necessary for operation, just tells you when things are needing to be replaced.
