Need a good RO/DI unit recommendation

[Breakthecycle2]

I am getting fed up with the amount of diatoms i am getting from all my local LFS's "ro" water, so I have decided I need to get my own unit. I think I prefer a 75-100 GPD unit.

Bulkreefsupply rodi are very nice. I use their 4 stage 75 gpd and it works great

Second on the BRS units. I have the 5 stage plus model that I got for $175 during a group buy. 75gpd and zero TDS. It can be upgraded to 150gpd for $50.

Aqua fx whatever one you buy get a inline Tds meter

Is there absolutely anything else I will need if I buy this one?

4 Stage Value PLUS RO/DI System - Bulk Reef Supply

A float valve to stop the flow when your container is full (the unit already has the auto shut off kit).

How does it connect to a sink? Do I need any other connectors?

It comes with sink adapters. Check the BRSTv channel on Youtube and they go over everything that it comes with, how to hook it up, etc.

Just bought the same one. My first ro unit and from what I've read about BRS I won't be disappointed. Great unit for the price

The one thing nobody seems to mention is that a flow restrictor (i used s ball valve) will probably need to be added to the waste water line. I tried to run it without restricting flow and all the pressure was escaping through the waste tube, and i was getting 10 gallons of rodi a day out of my 75gpd unit. And 1000 gallons of waste water lol.
