Here are the details

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TYPHOON 5 Stage RODI Reefkeeper 75 or 100 GPD
The Typhoon Reefkeeping R.O./D.I.5 stage with ASOV You don't need glue, Teflon tape, pipe dope, or wrenches.
Easy to use push-in fittings make installation a snap.
The original long term chloramines destroyer, six years and thousands of Reefkeepers later and still no reports of problems. We offer you a complete one frame system which has all the chloramines protection you will ever need.
The original Typhoon and Typhoon III are both equipped with ASOV for automatic top off. We introduced the ASOV to Reefkeeping almost six years ago.
The Typhoon unit comes pre-assembled with filters and membrane installed. Your unit is pressure tested with 60 psi water, the filters and membrane are installed the day we ship.
You only need to make the three plumbing connections and you are done. Just connect and enjoy zero TDS water, zip, -0-, none, nada. No TDS.New! Now our machines are equipped with re-usable D.I. cartridges. The Typhoon is a 5 stage R.O./D.I. (Reverse Osmosis/De-Ionizing) Reefkeeper supplied with a 75 GPD (Gallon Per Day) FilmTec (TFC) membrane for truly great water quality and production rates.The Typhoon uses five stages of filtration and purification. Most city water now contains chlormaines, which is simply too much for one carbon filter four stage system to handle. Totally automated water making can be yours. Just order the optional float valve. Once you mount the float valve in your storage tank, the ASOV and the float valve work together to control all of your water making automatically. Left photo is the optional float valve. Right is the standard ASOV valve.
This unit can be used on city or well supply water. All filters are standard size.Stage 1 - Heavy duty, standard industry size 10 micron Poly Pro Sediment filter.Stage 2 - 5 micron acid washed* Gem coconut carbon block filter, removing 98-99% of chlorine.Stage 3 - 1 micron acid washed* Gem coconut carbon block filter, that removes the remaining chemicals and chlorine. Stage 4 - 75 GPD FilmTec membrane** removing up to 98% of TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) Stage 5 - A full sized, high capacity, re-usable D.I. cartridge. This vertical color changing D.I. cartridge removes remaining TDS missed by the FilmTec membrane. As the resin is used the color changes. Once the color change is complete you simply install a new cartridge or buy our bulk resin and refill it. This is a mixed bed D.I. of both Anion & Cation resins.

* Acid washing assures purity and excellent flow rate.** FilmTec provides a three-year limited warranty. Please contact us for more information.

Looks ok to me. I'd stay away from the 100+ gpd units because their rejection rate has always been worse but I hear things are better. I'd still go 75 or less. I'm Ol Skool I guess, real old.

Its better for the RO membrane if it runs more often so you might want to think about a 60 or less. I wonder if the less GPD units are less money?
