RO/DI Unit question plz help

[maverick8182]

I'm looking for an RO/DI Unit but I'm not sure witch one to get. I have a 29 gallon and I'm upgrading to a 100 gallon soon. So witch one is the best to get? Thanks....

It would be best to get the biggest one you can afford..one in the 75 -100gpd range would be good for a 100g tank.
IMO I'd buy one with either 5 or 6 stages (with clear canisters on the bottom so that you can see them), and ideally one that has a refillable resin cartridge.
You also want to get a TDS meter as that is the only way to tell when you need to repace your cartridges.

Have you narrowed your search down to any particular models?

Be careful with the eBay vendors. I bought one off a recommended eBay vendor. The unit works well and the price was right but the customer service was lousy and it took me too long to figure out the setup ( instructions were lousy ). There's a MR sponsor that sells them whom a lot of people here use and are happy with.

These guys are really cool and you can get a really good setup for a lot less than the mainstream sellers. Mine works great and I got all the bells and whistles for the price of an entry level one.

All ro-di units are hard to assemble they almost always come without instructions

They do when you buy them from the people that do this for a living..like our sponsors

Don't forget to check another one of out Sponsors..
