RODI system

Has installing an RODI system in your house increased your water bill? Is the 75 GPH unit from Bulk Reef Supply a good unit?

Water usage will rise so will the bill. How much ?, depends on the system.
What really sets a unit apart from others is the membrane then filters.
BRS unit is a good one but better membrane should be used when changing.
Water temp. & pressure will have a significant affect on performance.

My water bill went up as well as my sewage bill. Its all on the same bill but they are separate bills from my utility company (The electric, water and sewage are all on one bill). How much it goes up will depend on how much water you use. If you have a 75gpd unit then I wouldn't expect the water bill to go up enough to be noticeable. It all depends on how much water you are making/using on a daily basis. 75gpd once a month water change wont have near the impact that 75gpd daily water changes would have on your bill.

Depends on how your water is billed. I'm billed in 1000 gal increments at something like $6 so mine was not noticable.

The 150 GPH is a water saver model a little more money but less waist on water. Pay a little more now save later on
