Check out bulk reef supply. They have good ones.

I have this unit which puts out 1 gallon every 15 minutes. I've used it for several years now and like it because it's portable and doesn't need to be plumbed in. I have the Pro-100... portable countertop reverse osmosis drinking water system - remove fluoride, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, prescription drugs and more.

Not all RO units have that. I'm very satisfied with mine.

The one I was looking at is the aquatic life RO buddie.from marine depot that you could add a DI cartridge to. The whole RO/DI is new to me so any help would be great and thanks Rivercars

How many tanks do you have? How much water do you need per change total?
What type of fish? Fresh or marine?

RO/DI for marine.

I use an RO-man.
It's 75 GPD but you can fit any size membrane, 50, 75, 100, 150. Not sure if you can with other manufacturers. Good service from both the company and the unit itself. Loads of options!

The 75gpd is ok for (sorry I'm in litres) 750+120+120+60litres any more it's a pain in the wot sit unless you get a reservoir. (This is a seven day schedule though, changes must be planned in advance, you have no spare time)

Production is slow, 17 hrs=200 litres approx depending on T.
I have a reservoir, switch it on go to bed, get up, a days worth of water plus a bit. With the reservoir I have more than enough water for all of my systems and my future plans to fill my room to capacity! Joy.

(1 us liquid gal=3.78litres) I'm tired you do the maths

(You will need a TDS meter)
