RO Filtration System Recommendation

I was having trouble reducing the nitrates in my tank and I just discovered that my filtered drinking water contains nitrates at 40 ppm....the EPA standard is 10 ppm. I am floored. I have been feeding my children organic fruits and giving them poisoned water. :mad:
I am looking for an under-the-counter RO system...price is not a problem. What are the best ones out there???

I have a Typhoon III that supplies the R.O.D.I. water for the fish and the R.O. water for drinking. I have it set up in the laundry room with tubing that goes under the house to the kitchen sink where there is a faucet.
I absolutely LOVE having decent water to drink. We live way out in the country and our
"city" water used to taste like chlorinated pond water! I drink so much more water now.

AirWaterIce Typhoon III here also. I've had for over 3 years and it works as well as the day I got it. Walter is tops when it comes to support also. They uses only top quality parts and the cost is unbeatable for what you get.

the dual home/reef has a smaller DI filter and smaller footprint for under counter. It has a taste filter for drinking water. The Typhoon III is more for reefkeeping. Larger DI will last 2x as long but doesn't have the drinking water setup. I have the dual home/reef and like it for the versatility. I have it under the kitchen sink providing a drinking water tap and it runs to the fridge for the water and icemaker. A hose and valve provides DI for the tank.

Thanks for the info. Is the water quality itself for each model about the same? I have noticed that they are pretty much the same price. ($10 difference.)

yes. they both use the same exact filters and RO membrane just the DI cartridge is larger in the typhoon III. same high quality water and customer service is pretty good too.

I actually bought the home reef and got an upgraded DI filter, so it is basically typhoon with the faucet and pressurized storage tank included. Great deal for the features!
