is this a good RO / DI unit

[fishfishkc]

I am wanting to get a good unit to use for top offs and water changes so I think 75 gallons a day is more then enough to fill my needs.
Is the AQUA 75 GPD 2004A REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER FILTER from Aquasafecanada good? The title says RO but the whole discreption says DI as well and it comes with a DI filter and beads. They get tons of positive feedback but just wanted to double check. Dumb question but what part of the system removes chlorine? the membrane or prefilter?
Thanks

i own one of these units and it is working great, customer service is also top notch.

same! i have the same exact model, and i love it, and i think the membrane actaully removes chlorine

 

[norcalreef]

The carbon prefilter is what removes the chlorine...carbon absorbes the chlorine

Thanks Fishman and Norcal,
Do you filters seem to last awhile? I was debating on whether or not to go ahead and buy the extra filters or just wait.
Also did you purchase a TDS tester from Aquasafecanada to test the water system with? didnt know if their testers were good or not.
Thanks again

I have the same unit as well.
It's very nice. Get the TDS meter you wont find it any cheaper, and you will need it to know when to change the filters.
as for the replacement filters, I got a set of five and havent changed them yet. still getting 0 TDS after about 4 months @ 2gpd topoff. still they were cheap enough to buy just to have on hand. I would get the DI cartidge set he offers too. oh yeah, no leaks either.:jumping:
