I wish I can post a real world review but ever since I bought my RO/DI unit I had been swamped with all the side jobs I can possibly handle. Still sitting in the box...

Oh, almost forgot, its from Air Water & Ice

I know which systems and service we think is best, but we are a little biased on this topic!

If you're going to buy a system, here's some things to look for:

• Standard-sized prefilters, membrane, and DI cartridge
• Brand name, high-rejection membrane
• Specifications provided for each stage
• Pressure gauge after the prefilters and before the membrane
• Thermometer
• DI bypass plumbing so you can access RO water easily for testing or for drinking
• Vertical DI stage
• Refillable DI cartridge
• Aluminum bracket (no rust)
• Quick connect fittings
• Flush valve
• Clear housings
• High-quality instructions
• Customer support before, during, and after your purchase
• A vendor involved in your hobby

Great suggestions Russ...I agree completely with your list...the only thing I might add to the list is if at all possible get a refillable DI Container, many local fish stores are starting to sell DI media in bulk and if you have DI Cartridge thats refillable it can make the exchanges a bit cheaper...

awesome, input Russ.

That is definitely a good sugestion too Gsago, had not thought about a refilable DI resin carthridge but i guess it is on the list now as well as a 150 GPD upgrade.

We're on the same page - see bullet no. 8. Refillable cartridges are the way to go.

One of the many connectors supplied was for 3/8 tubing instead of the standard 1/4" tubing and the reducing coupler I bought from Lowe's is the part that sprung a leak.

Thank god I woke up like 7 minutes LOL after it started leaking. Water was already up to my knees.
