Originally Posted by acrylic51 Sorry again, but out of curiousity, why do some people opt for 100gpd units? You'll still have to wait for water and do we honestly need that amount of water at any 1 given time? Not sure, but a LFS may want a lot of water so they can run their operation or sell...

i have a Panasonic DMC-FZ20 with Leica lenses. It is DSLR-like. I got it on sale because no one wants the silver body, there are cousins to it now in your price range. It works incredible for me, at some point I'll get some pics up.

Originally Posted by maelv And my AWI unit came with an automatic shut off valve...will I need: A solenoid for auto top off? An extra ASOV if I plan on having it fill a storage tank (about 40 gallons or so) and using it as an auto top off? If I read AWI (in case it gets deleted...that RO/DI...

I have a royal gramma and he doesn't seem agressive right now, but he has his little cave to go into. The clowns hang around the center and right side and his cave is on the left. The clowns are too fat to get into his cave so all is well.
