New BRS RO/DI, What Cartridges?

DeepSeaBeauti · 02/22/2011, 07:38 AM

Ive been looking for a while to get a new RO/DI unit. Well with a newly expanded bank account, no thanks to the withholding of federal tax money for the 2010 FY, I'm ready to make my purchase. I will probley get it from BRS, but they have so many options, sizes and choices i dont know what to get. So im looking into input and sugestions on what is the most practical. For a while i thoughtt the 5 stage with drinking water would be great, But im now not too sure. Was then thinking of doing a build your own kit, But i dont know where to begin with choices there. With that said, before i keep rambling on, what should i get? Thanks

Email them. They are good at answering the same day. Brandon is aweswome! Check and see if you have Chloramines in your water supply. Would be good to send them a water report with your email. We have Chloramines and need catalytic carbon to remove them.

With that said, I have a 5 stage with: carbon block, sediment filter, membrane, catalytic carbon and the DI resin not in that order...I'd have to go look to list the order! Email or give BRS a call.
