After paying $1/gallon for RO water at the Safeway yesterday, I started to think abour buying a RO unit.
I've done a little bit of research, but still have some questions. Clearly having more stages and a higher removal rate is better. But given two models with the same number of stages and the same removal rate for the same things, is there any significant difference other than the GPD rating?
If I use my RO unit only once or twice a month, how long will it last before I have to change the filter?
I saw some very cool (but expensive) models with 3 stage filtration and a 35+ GPD rating. I have a 37 gallon tank, and clearly I wouldn't need that much capacity.
Last (and maybe most important) question: would the Kent Bare Bones (10 GPD) model be good enough for my FOWLR tank, or would I need something that produces better quality RO water than that?
