    any recommended ro systems off fleabay?

    I have a 5 stage from Aquasafe/ Canada. No complaints. Did burn right thru the first batch of DI resin, but thats my well water doing that. I just keep an eye on the color of the resin, watch the TDS's, and I'm making great water. Unit was cheap to buy, not cheaply made.

    Anybody have any input on the quality of the "Odyssea M H System" ? I Recently checked on E-Bay and found a reasonably priced 48" fixture, but I really don't like to get burned. Some equipment out there is over-priced junk. Thanks
