Brand New Optima Vision RO/DI from purelyh2o

I just bought one of these from purelyh2o:
http://www.purelyh2o.com/product.php...cat=249&page=1

I'm sure it is a good filter, but it is not right for my situation. I made about a cup of water with it. I don't have enough PSI to make water and I don't want to pay or deal with a booster pump. I'm gonna go back to my Aquarium Pharm filter. Not the best, but sufficient for my current needs.

I was given these fittings for free as well because the whole transaction with purely h2o was a nightmare.

The whole thing has a value of about $155

I'll sell for what I bought the RO/DI unit for: $139

Hey, I also had a terrible experience ordering the same thing! It took something like 2 months for me to get the unit after I ordered it- and he kept trying to be a nice guy and gave me a couple of free filters so I wouldnt be so pissed.

Yes those of you who desire to order from them, be warned. Orders take forever...

THe only reason they got on the ball with mine is because I posted about it on RC. But even then I had mishap after mishap.

The owner claims it is because they are growing, which they probably are. Good price, good filter, slow slow slooowww shipping. That's why it's a good deal to buy the new one I have on the market!

I forgot that I am keeping the faucet adaptor, so I'll take $10 off.

New unit - $129

It's a steal.

Bumb for a Good deal. I did not have a problem ordering from them. He left one item out and when I called him up he shipped it to me fairly quickly. I must have gotten lucky!
