RO price is like $50 cheaper compare to the RO/DI, is having the DI section recommended?

 

[buddha_red]

yes you want a ro/di unit that will give you 0 ppm tds, mines a 75 gallon per day

I agree go with the RO/DI you will be glad you did.

oho what's the different between 5st or 6st??

 

[abrahamavelar]

so which one did u get??????????????????? the one i got comes with the Clear (DI)De-Ionized filter + Needle valve

The extra DI stage is really not nessary and will only cost you more when flilter replacement time comes along. How much better then 0 tds do you need?

 

[abrahamavelar]

its the same i talked to a lfs that has the same one and i it was this morning it just has an extra incase one didnt got all of the things or something like thats

I have a coralife one that does 50GPD.....it takes a bit of time to fill your tank but if you let it run overnight it's not too bad. Very simple to use and setup....and I like that

Reverse Osmosis Aquarium Water Quality: Maxxima RO/DI Units

This is the one I use. A bit pricey but does an excellent Job.

 

[abrahamavelar]

this one also says it has the De-Ionized filter + Needle valve

 

[fishmonkey]

whatever you get, its better to get one with the DI portion as well as the RO.

 

[abrahamavelar]

ohhhh so the one i got its actually not bad at all im glad and also i got it for a good prizeq

 

[match55]

the reason I asked is becasue the $141 said it has a DI section, and the $95 didn't.
so I wanna make sure I get the right one.

 

[abrahamavelar]

but the 95 dollars says it has di filter if u go lower on the page u will see that it says about the di filter

 

[thincat]

That's okay, If it turns out not to have a DI flilter one can be added on to very easlily. No problem...

 

[abrahamavelar]

ohhhhh cool so i seen alot of ro di systems and i see that some have a tank kind of like the ones that we use for propane, wat is it for, just to store water or whats their purpose because where i go get my ro di water they dont use one but they sell them
