Which RO/DI unit to buy? - Page 2

exoticaquatix · 03/08/2006, 08:38 PM

i bought my 100gpd ro/di unit through Aqua-safe on ebay over a year ago and am very happy with it. i just bought a case of filters with contained 6 replacements for the first 3 stages for 55 bucks + shipping. that is an insane deal, best i found on ebay or on-line even. i think its enough for a few years. it also contained 3 "drinking water" filters which i dont even bother using but if your drinking the water even better. i got my DI resin from a different place with free shipping. it was less than a dollar and ounce shipped to my door. in short buy refillable DI catriges. okay, enough rambling.

I'm curious about this question. Does anyone have an answer?

Thanks,

This is a subject that needs to be addressed on an individual basis, This is due to the fact that the best method of chloramine removal is a GAC bed of catalytic carbon which is not standard in most systems due to the fact that it offers no protection against particulates and things removable on the micron level. The system needs to be modified to suit the need of chloramine removal. So as not to isolate one system to say that the issue is not addressed I will add that most do not address the issue off the shelf including mine

Hope this helps
Bryan

If I were you I'd PM or e-mail Bryan in the post above. I'm sure he can answer you in a more detailed manner if you PM him.
