Ro di

[don1234]

Okay...I've done some research and see that there are several different types of RO DI units available. I've seen several that are 75GPD, but different prices. Any recommendations?

the higher GPD rating the faster it will make water, higher rating means higher cost.
If u use storage trash cans to save up water u can go with lower rating.
there is not much difference in quality between different units.
I personally have cheap 14GPD unit from home depot, makes water very slowly put I have two 32g trash cans to store water

I have a 35GPD RO/DI unit and it is too slow for me. My water pressure is awful so it is most likely produces 20GPD. Get a Higher GPD if you can afford it. If you need water for an emergency then you wont have to wait as long.

Thefilterguys.biz comes highly recommended. They aren't the cheapest out there but they have unbelievable customer service and their units are helping me to push out 0 tds.

This is more of a question...but I'm going to put it in statement format, so don't flame me if I'm wrong.
A unit should have tlc membranes in order to ensure that there are no leaks.
A unit is only as good as the filters you buy for it. Keep that in mind.
