I have a Buckeye Hydro unit. Been running strong for 6 yrs now. Great support from Russ.

Bulk Reef Supply, Spectrapure both make quality units.

Even the eBay ones are fine.

Not at all. My 1st Spectrapure filter was a refurbed unit and it was in brand new condition. I have since sold it and bought a Spectrapure Maxcap which is a step up with a 2nd DI cartridge, 2 TDS monitor's and manual flush

That's about as cheap as you're going to get in terms of price for an RO/DI unit.

I have one, and it was almost brand new out of the box, and it works like a charm. Just don't forget to get the faucet adapter for your kitchen sink.

I've had my 75gpd premium unit for almost 7 years. Russ has always been helpful. He also has a great selection of filters if you want higher quality, longer lasting, etc.

I just changed my membranes in my ro/di unit (have 2 membranes in mine) and tried the Spectrapure 99% 90gpd-they are by far the best I have ever used! I would buy a Spectrapure in a heartbeat
