RO/DI unit on ebay

[borlaracing9]

i found this unit on ebay and was thinking about buying it since i only have a 55g, and it looks simple to setup and is obviously a lot cheaper than most other ones. Partially why i am verifying if its any good. Let me know what you guys think any feedback will be greatly appreciated! http://cgi.ebay.com/0PPM-Portable-5...2BUA%2BFICS%2BUFI%2BDDSIC&otn=20&po=LVI&ps=63http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-5...25253D20%252526po%25253DLVI%252526ps%25253D63

link isnt working for me... how much is it?

my bad, i believe the new link i posted should work. Let me know!

the only problem i see with it is that its a 50gpd unit... thats not all that much as im sure you know. and if you ever upgrade to a bigger tank, you'll be waiting days to get enough water for pwc's... i would definately recommend getting something bigger... like this ... 6 stage, 150gpd unit... jmo

very true and thanks for your input! That was actually the 2nd one i was looking at. I think i will get that one just cause of how slow 50GPD really is and i do plan on upgrading eventually.

50 gallon per day is not really that bad. I have one for my 125 and it makes plenty of water for topp off and PWC`s. The 150gpd is OK also but for my needs the 50 gpd will do.

I don't think 50GPD is slow unless you forget to plan ahead on the PWC. But what I see as a potential problem is that in a unit that small you may be changing filters so often that you negate any cost savings by buying the cheaper unit.
