Question Ro/di ?

Going to buy a new RO/DI system tomorow and wondering what you are using and what to buy? Right now I'm lookind at the Typhoon III from AirWater Ice.
I heard this was a good unit. I don't want to buy junk, so if anyone has any suggestins they would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have a typhoon I (same thing with a few less extras). I say go for it. It is a great unit, and they offer great service.

The Typhoon III is a good unit. Stay away from the 100 GPD and get a 75 GPD unit.

Sorry to butt in, why the 70GPD over the 100GPD?

The RO filter has a higher rejection rate (less DI resins used up.)

Yes, the 75 gpd membrane rejects more "stuff" than the 100 gpd. That means less impurities pass through to the DI section which extends the life of the DI resin. This saves you $ on upkeep and maintenance because you don't have to replace the DI resin as often.
