RO/DI Purchase Questions

[cjqsmom]

I am ready to purchase a RO/DI system and I am not sure what the best one is.
Currentally I am running 2 tanks a 100 gallon reef with 30ish sump and a 90 fowlr with 20ish sump. We are looking at getting a 20 gallon QT to run with the reef when its not used as a QT, knowing that at times we will have to drain it should we need to add medications if needed.
What size should I get and brand.
I was looking at the SpectraPure MaxCap RO/DI System, 180gpd w/ Pressure Gauge & Purity Monitor for $430
OR THE 90 gpd for 370
On the above two I was looking for replacement filters and only found 3 packs not 4 is that a problem?
or the SpectraPure CSP-DI 180 GPD RO/DI System for $400.
Does anyone have any experience with these or should I find a different one.
Any comments or concerns would be appricated.

I highly recommend The Typhoon III Extreme 150gpd system. I'm currently using it for ~200g total water volume system and ~100g total water volume system and really love it.

that looks like a good system just need to find a place other then **** to buy it and its cheaper too.

How about getting replacement filters for it?

My bad I guess I am not quite awake yet. When to the manf. website and just didnt see the add to cart button.

I purchased the replacement filters at the same time as the unit and so far the TDS is giving a reading of 0 after 6 months of usage. I'm wanting to get into a routine of changing them at 6 months.

Looks to me that they have a lot of good reviews and I haven't found any negative. I will buy the replacement filters at the same time plus as a added bonus they have good prices on what looks to be no-name MH bulbs for $35
How many replacements should I buy? 1 set with the DI and 1 set of the 3 pack?

 

[spiderwoman]

I got the 1 set of the DI and then the 3 pack. You should be fine with one set and as soon as you switch the filters, order a new set.
You won't be disappointed with that unit.

Checkout the brand thefilterguys. Their products are excellent.

I think the typhoon extreme looks like a better deal then the filter guys since its already one unit instead of having to add things on and such.
Any idea how much water it wastes?

3/4 of your water is waste water. Typically.
