RO/DI unit on ebay

[zanski]

Some one on here or RC posted a great seller for these on ebay. Trying to remember the name of the seller. Anyone remember this?:confused2:

if your trying to save $ on a RO you may be talking about Water General. i been using thiers for a good bit now. most of the Ebay RO seller have poor prefilters and some have poor membranes I would look for Flimtec or GE Desail membranes

yeah--water general --honestly, I bought one about ayear ago-and have been VERY happy with it--I'm thinking it's about time to replace filters, and I prob. will soon; I mix about 40-50 gallons/week

I been using that 1 for 2 years now. Great unit
Can't beat $99 ship. I am sure there other been using them also.

When its time to change your prefilter I'd recomend a 1 micron deep sediment filter, and a .5 micon chlorine guzler carbon block.

 

[roland jacques]

That one is a option, I like the clear housings to see the condition of my Prefilters. The extra DI chamber with the WG is a plus.

I picked up a 5-stage for like $80 or something like that-I figured for $80, I'd give it a try-instead of dropping $300+ for a namebrand comparable unit-and it has turned out to be a pretty good unit-I've never tested TDS, but algae isn't a problem-and corals seem to be happy-How do you tell when the filters need changing? put a tds on it?

 

[wolfie]

You can alway buy an TDS tester, but all filter should be change out once a year. 1 ever 6 months if you are using it heavyly

We strongly recommend against any system with a horizontal DI - it is a fundamental configuration error.

Repiping the DI to make it vertical would solve that problem?

Yep! 2 second mod

 

[roland jacques]

The only possible deference I see between horizontal and vertical placement of the DI is possible air trapping and not escaping.

 

[buckeye field supply]

Moving the DI so that it is vertical, with bottom up flow, would address some of the issues. You may still however be left with, depending upon your system, a non refillable cartridge and/or a small capacity cartridge.
