Is it worth buying?

[the_bandit]

Used Pure-Flo II 50 GPD RO unit, Thin Film Composite (TFC) membrane, 1 micron filter cartridge, Carbon block filter cartridge and Deionization Cartridge. 50 Gallons per day RO/DI unit. Item 76002. Comes with 2 extra filters. Has roughly 6 months of use on it. Its available at fostersmith . com so I know I can get replacement catridges.
$100
Buy it?

You can get an RO/DI new for about 130.00.
For some reason this isn't something I would get used unless it was HEAVILY discounted.

 

[the_bandit]

Can you PM me where I can get this $130 one?
So I should just not get this one?

There are more options out there but I like this company and have been happy. Easy to order replacements as well.

Oh, I'm not telling you NOT to buy that... but for a used RO only system I would want a MUCH better deal. You really aren't getting new filters as the ones in there look gross already.

 

[the_bandit]

Ok. Im probably going to buy that one.
Also have a question. I NEED to buy a refractometer but would like to try and order one of e b a y. Good choice? I see some for around $20-$30. Is this a average price for them?

 

[jackri]

Yeah, most stores I think are 30-40 bucks, speaking of which I need one myself.

 

[the_bandit]

Sent you a PM.

 

[jackri]

Yeah I saw that... I can't check the bay at work, and I've never used one so don't know
