Which ro/di system?

Nano Chris · 12/12/2006, 07:40 PM

I am looking into finally purchasing a ro/di system this week, and i was considering these two setups:
Captive Purity 75 GPD RO/DI Pro RO/DI Filter System - Clear Canisters
http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewIt...647945&isKit=0
Kent Marine Deluxe Hi-S Maxxima 60 GPD System
http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewIt...product=KM1493

I like that both but I'm not sure which one works the best. Trying to get the best bang for my buck (i was looking at the air water ice website but didn't have what i wanted with the tds meter included.)

Look at places that deal exclusively in water treatment, you will get more bang for your buck and a better unit all around.
www.spectrapure.com builds the best RO/DI available today anywhere in their MaxCap RO/DI system, nothing compares to it.
www.thefilterguys.biz build great units and are saltwater hobbyists themselves. Also look at www.buckeyefieldsupply.com and www.purelyh2o.com .
Don't hesitate to contact any of them, I have found most if not all will customize a system to fit your needs although I am a little disturbed by an answer to a question on the PurelyH2O sponsors forum I saw recently which really ticked me off. Someone there basically told a customer they could not be bothered with modifying a system from its normal configuration. If that is their new policy they just lost my recommendation as that puts then in the same category as the e-bay "one size fits all" junk vendors in my book!

We find customizing systems is critical. Sometime wonder if it's the rule rather than the exception!
