RO/DI upgrade reccomendation

I'm going to upgrade my Ro filter to an RO/DI system for tank and house. What system do you reccomend? I'm running about 120 total water in sump and tank.

Thanks,
Thysrof

I use the Spectrapure MaxCap RO/DI systems myself.
What is your tap wate rquality like? If the TDS is very high at all this system is the only way to go.

I just bought this one...

I bought the 150gpd version with a 98% RO membrane rejection. It was a really good price at $187 & comes with a TDS meter.

DesertRat,

Good question, I've never tested the TDS on our tap water. We've been using Calistogo delivery and it's quite expensive. Come to think of it I've never tested the TDS on the Calistoga water. I'm wondering if I really want to know what we've been drinking.

Thanks for the input

Thysrof
