Does anyone have any suggestions as to a quality, relatively high-output RO/DI unit? I'm looking to spend $200 or less.
Thanks!
Thanks!
RO/DI Unit - which one?

I picked mine up at airwaterice and very happy with it... easy to just go back and get the right filter packs for it too as I have to change quite often. Lot of good ones out there but thats just what I use and affordably priced. Think I got the reefkeeper (can't remember exactly what it's called) but it's a 50 or 75gpd with a 3 gallon storage tank for instant RO drinking water and a facet -- we use it all the time at home for water and then I run a 5g bucket of RO/DI for the tanks.

yep, airwaterice i got typhoon III extreme. 100 gal/day little over your $200 but it is NICE customer service couldn't be better. when i got it, one of the filter heads was not allowing the o ring to set properly. they sent out 3 new ones the same day i called. very nice people!! im sure the cheaper ones work just as well but im one of those "if there is a choice b/t the $100 and $300 ill choose the $300 everytime" people. kinda dumb huh!!! but seriously very nice unit

I just looked and I have the dual reef one.... which I see they changed a bit and makes me wonder if the filters will be the same as I need to order more. Guess I'll call and ask. They have been great to me as well -- also picked up a TDS meter when I bought mine which I recommend for 25 bucks. Good to test how bad your water was to begin with and what you end up with. Also a good way to know when to change filters.
