Smallest RO/DI System
What is the smallest RO/DI system I can buy, it seems to me that it is the one that makes 75gallons a day is the smallest, I only need about 10 gallons a week. Does anyone know the cheapest RO/DI system that comes with every thing you need.

HD sells the little (11 gpd) GE ro units. Seems though they were almost as much as the 100gph unit I got on-line.

There is a little one on ebay, it is like 60 gallons but it's a very small unit and only runs 70 shipped.

I've been using the Kent Hi-S Maxima 35 gpd for 7 yrs now. I never run out of water even with very large water changes and about 3g a day in top off. I bought it when I had a smaller tank but no need for a new one.

I only have a 40B, 50 gallons total volume and I have a 90gpd RODI unit. It is nice makes 5 gallons of water in 30 minutes. It is really nice to be able to make water quickly if you ever need to. The 75-90gpd units are not much more expensive. I have a Spectra Pure 3 stage RO with added DI, after RO membrane water is 8tds and after DI it is 0tds. My tap water starts out at 475+tds.
