Spectrapure ro/di

nodak · 01/15/2014, 07:06 PM

Thinking about getting a spectrapure 5 stage ro/di unit. Right now I am using a 4 stage Maxima and need to replace all filters an resin. Just wondering if the upgrade is worth it. Anybody use this unit and what kind of results do you get?

Dont know anything about the one you have but I have the refurbished 90gpd spectrapure unit and I have no complaints.

I have a SP 90 GPD 5 stage as well. Never had a single issue. Would definitely recommend it.

Can't you just add one more canister to your unit?

I have the 90gpd Maxcap, love it

+1. Have the same unit with auto flush and added a booster to it to max out efficiency. The DI is lasting a bit longer now, and my output has increased. Awesome unit

Booster helps a lot indeed.

I lost my aquarium in a move recently due to my ro malfunctioning.

I retrofitted my RO to mimic the maxcap and it has been running great since.

Highly recommend the upgrade.

Thanks for input. I will order one tonight.

Good for you, you will enjoy it

I have the same unit by Kent. Thinking about switching to. can you please tell me what you think afterwards.

morgan175 · 01/28/2014, 03:13 PM

Any update

Morgan175,

Are you still using your Kent?

SpectraPure · 03/20/2014, 02:42 PM

If you guys think that a booster pump is a good way to increase your DI capacity, perhaps you should invest in a 99% membrane as well. =)

Can't go wrong with SP units...used them for years with great results!

Yes I'm still using my kent.

I would really recommend a new membrane. The 99% will extend the life of your DI.
