Premiere R/O unit?
hi guys. im tracking an R/O unit on ebay, its going CHEAP right now, it looks to be a 6 stage
the previous owner used it under the sink, but it sounds like its intent is drinking water. Im curious, does it matter? i know some are said to be for reef tanks, but does it matter? thanks in advance! |

You want an RO-DI unit, IMO, and it should have a good 75gpd membrane, or slower. The 100 gpd membranes don't do as good a cleaning job.

Make sure it has DI for your tank.
Drinking systems do not have DI as it makes the water taste weird.

I just got a unit from http://www.melevsreef.com RO/DI for around $150. I am EXTREMELY happy with it. I was replacing a lower flow unit that I had. I'm telling you this new unit is made out of quality parts and has all the necessary fittings/hoses for plug and play use. It even has a mounting bracket attached to the filters. Two screws in a wall and it was hung. In less than 10 minutes I had it hooked up and pumpin. Before I purchased it I looked at several units on ebay and to say the least they looked 'whimpy' compared to the one on melevsreef.com
