Im wanting to buy a RODI unit TODAY , help

marinerules · 03/11/2007, 02:25 PM

Ive had several people reccommend me the typhoon 2 or 3 , but I dont want to spend $250 , ive talked to a few on reefcentral that have $100 u nits and they seem to do the job , according to the readings from their meter

anyone have any particular kind to reccommend

I hope to get some comments as I would like to buy one today online so I can have it this coming week

I have a 240 gallon tank , almost 300 gallosn by the time I add my sump , so I will be using it quite a bit

Dont skimp on an ro/di unit. I bought a barebones system back in the day and had nothing but problems with my water. I picked myself up a 60gpd deluxe maxxima hi-s and all my water problems have gone away.

There are a number of good vendors with a lot of people having success. Im glad your finally getting one...I remember the "old days" before I had one. What a pain! Anyway, take a look at the filter guys...Didnt get my unit there, but great service and they have good units. Also, Purely H2O as well. Like I said..lots of different ones with a lot of people having good success.

im going to go ahead and get the typhoon 3 , its only 200 instead of 300 like I though it was ,

would it be better for me to get a hose adaptor or a faucet adapter

Depend where you put it, If you put it near a washing maching (hose adapter) or use a sink.

You can plumb it directly under the sink.
