RO/DI Unit / Water Processing

Found a RO/DI unit that is a home/reef system for $189 from a site dealing with airwaterice .
Does anyone have experience with this unit or this supplier?
Secondly, I wonder if those who have developed a good system for moving 10 gallons of water to a 'processing tank' and then from there to the aquarium (about 50 ft for me) could explain their system.
My thoughts are to fill a 16 gallon trash can with 10 gallons of water. Carry that to somewhere convienient. Add salt, thermometer, and PH. Then carry that trash can to the aquarium. Not sure if 80-90 pounds of water is to much

Thanks,
- Nate

Not sure about the RO/DI unit. But it sounds good since it includes the DI after RO.
As far as moving the large amounts of water, you have two choices. Get 5 gallon buckets or smaller and make more trips OR get a hose from the water holding tank and pump it or siphon it to the main tank.
This way when you fill the main tank, it goes in alot slower than dumping it in from a bucket.
Do your salt adding and temp adjustment in holding tank before moving it.
