www.airicewater.com or www.thefilterguys.biz Lots of info on their websites and very helpful over the phone. Another option would be to get RO/DI water from a local fish store. Should only a few bucks for 5 gallons. | |||

I got a 100 gpd Water General RO/DI unit on ebay for $150 shipped with a float valve and pressure gauge. Its been a great unit so far. The only thing I would of done different was to go with the 75 gpd cause it produces less waste water per gallon of good water. HTH | |||

You can find cheap units on eBay. I've had my Typhoon III from AirWaterIce.com for 5 years. I replaced the membrane this year because I wanted the 150gpd membrane (higher rejection rate). I like the clear cannisters so I can visually see when it's time to replace the sediment filter, and it has a membrane flush built in. | |||
