I'm looking into purchasing an R/O unit because I'm sick of hauling water jugs back from the store. Has anyone had any experience with the Oceanus brand?
Also, does this sound like a good deal:
"Our 4 stage reverse osmosis deionization system, or Oceanus 75 boasts a a 1 micron sediment cartridge which removes harmful particulates, a 1 micron full carbon block for removing chlorine and other harmful contaminents before they reach the RO membrane, a 75 GPD high rejection TFC reverse osmosis membrane and a powerful mixed bed DI resin to polish the water to optimum purity. The Oceanus is ideal for your reef tank aquarium and saltwater tank. This system comes complete with an inline pressure gauge to monitor your system's water pressure. Your choice of either a 1/2" cold water valve T (for a more permanent attachment), a sink adaptor (perfect for kitchen sinks, etc.), or a 3/4 inch hose bib adaptor to use in conjunction with a garden hose or laundry faucet type attachment)" - $199 plus shipping
Thank you for any help!!

No experience with that unit. But, I have a Typhoon III and love it. It is a five stage RO/DI model complete with presure gauge, TDS meter for just $199. I have nothing but love for this unit

I would not buy any of these units with membranes higher then 75. When you do you start getting into lower TDS removal and that's going to waste your DI cart much faster. I'm finding now that even with what I think is the best RODI I can buy its not enough. I'm still getting a PO4 reading of 0.02 off my DI (using the Hannah PO4 Colori Meter) Sooo I'm going to add another DI to my system...that'll do it :hilarious

I like airwaterice, which is about 1/2 the price of the Spectrapure. Golfish is right about "what's inside" that counts, and you have to change what's inside with regularity. So, put your money on the filters, not the housing.
