Rodi unit

[joshpwolf]

I'm looking to get an rodi unit I seen this on CL wanted to ask if anyone has used it, if it works good, and if the price is right. The guy came down to $100, he said it only has about 100 gallon put through it.

You can't really tell how many gallons has been put through it, but It's definitely a good unit. I have a similar one. It looks like it has the in line TDS meter and a pressure gauge. It appears to be this one-
5 Stage PLUS RO/DI System - 75GPD - Bulk Reef Supply

Say the filters need replaced if that is what they are called sorry never had any experience with this before. What is a cost to replace what would need to be replaced. Thanks for all the help.

You'd probably save about $50 buying the used one

Yeah and with changing the filters not.saving a hole lot.. you can get on bulk reef supply web site and order a replacement kit. The kit comes with everything you need

Looks like the unit I bought for $180 from BRS. I'd get it.

The only expensive replacement is the RO membrane. Those usually cost about 40 bucks. the other filters are 3 to 5 dollars a piece, and then you have DI resin. You will need to change that out regularly anyway.

Ok thanks all, I'm going to look into buying it. Another question off topic is I have a uv sterilizer that I have never used it cam with the setup I bought of cl. Is there a benefit to hook it up now?

What are you trying to accomplish with it?

 

[joshpwolf]

Not sure if I need I know nothing at all about them. Didn't know if it was good to hook it up and run it since I have it. I don't have an algae problem. Every now and then I will get light brown on my glass and I can see were my snails have traveled through it. But that only happens if I don't clean my glass every few days.

You are always going to have that, sterilizer or not. If this is a reef tank, I would skip it. If it's just a fish only, running it won't really do any harm, but IMO it's unnecessary.

Ok sounds like it might go on CL then. It's just been sitting around for a year
