Suggestions for RO/DI System

Does anyone have any suggestions for the best/favorite RI/DO system to use and as well as suggestions on buying one at a lower cost?

I have the Air Water Ice, 75GPD unit and it has done me well. they were very helpful in the order process and recommenfations as well as support after the pruchase with any questions on hookup and operation. all of my replacement filters and DI have been to me the next day. They are also a sponsor on here.

I second the typhoon III from Air, Water ice.... Comes with a lifetime warranty.... I brought my system 5 years ago and my ASOV just went out and they shipped me a new one for free the next day.

One of the best thing I brought for my tank!!

I'm happy with my Bulk Reef Supply 5 Stage Plus, which since I bought it is probably better than anyone else's RO/DI.

I actually have 2 RODI's, the first one is from Air water ice and the second one I got from Bulk reef supply. The first is the extreme typhoon III and the second is a 6 stage deluxe. I love them both. I dont think i could pick one over the other if I had to.

I run nothing but spectrapure and have for many, many years. I use the maxcap system with their high capacity DI stages. We have the worst water imaginable here in central Az and spectrapure knows how to treat nasty water while getting the most gallons per DI stage. Most all of the locals I know run them as well.
I run my system split. So it provides my family and myself awesome drinking water, and then my DI stages produce flawless water for my reef.
