ro unit

[sandman1966]

my wife got me a ro unit as a gift trying to save me some trips to the store with the bottles,it is the ro 35hi-s 35gpd unit by kent marine .is this unit going to be ok without the di stage? it filters 97-99% of impurities. i thought i also needed the di stage but with 97-99% effectiveness is it really necessary? kent said it would be ok the only thing i see that i am lacking is a tds meter.

You will be fine with that RO unit. DI is not necessary, But it does help. Besides you dont wanna make the wife feel like she got ya something bad do ya "well I know I wouldnt lol"

Depends, if it is a fish only tank then just a good RO unit is fine, if you are going to have a reef then I would get a add on DI. I personally would not run a reef tank without DI.

yea i would definitely get the stink eye if my wife thought her gift wasn't good enough. i do have a couple thing that were given to me a couple anemone's and a xenia that is growing like wild fire. currently i have been getting my water at the neighborhood grocier's water machine (which kind of makes me wonder since there is no way to tell how pure the water is). i have a kent marine hi-s 35gpd it claims to filter almost everything except what a di unit can.
