Advice on decent RO/DI unit?

[tigerarmy40]

I want a pm that will make me happy too!!! as I am really in the market for a system but cant decide on what to go with....

Bryan,

I don't want you to think that I'm arguing with you. I tried to put the explanation in simple terms. Most folks aren't really going to know about "reactive" removal or "catalytic" carbon.

 

[purelyh2o]

Oh no thats fine Im just trying to keep the thought processes in place.



Im just here to help! Its all good!

does anyone have a pic of their typhoon that they could share? I am wondering how the pressure gasuge is mounted and does it come with an inline tds meter on it? pics would be great!!! I have also heard theat vertical di cartridge is not as efficient as the horizontil mounted di!?!? does anyone have any feedback on that?

Full size vertical DI is more efficient than horizontal.

The Typhoon III comes with a handheld TDS meter. Inline meters are more prone than hand-helds to getting build-up material on them and causing false readings (since they are always having water passed through them).

eee

I agree with that That is why the Optima CA comes with a handheld and a Dual inline
You can check them against each other

They may be....but they sure are nice to have. I don't care what my incoming says on my in-line. Not too much I can do about it anyway.
I'm looking for the 0 on the output, and occasionally check it with my handheld. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but there isn't going to be too much buildup on the RO/DI side, is there?

Remember that comparing your incoming to the RO output will give the rejection ratio of the membrane, telling you when to replace it. That's where the hand-held will come in handy if the in-line is off.

eee

 

[purelyh2o]

Yep!

Yep!

Thats true smleee

I'm new to this forum and had thought I would order the typhoon on payday. Now I have to evaluate a new unit. Bryan mind sending anoth PM? I will be getting a RO/DI in a couple of weeks. Now I don't know which one... again.

I know that. That's what my handheld is for and as I said, there is really not a lot I can do about the buildup (if there is any) on the probe. I use my in-line primarily for my DI output. I compare the two meters every now and then and check my RO water when I change my DI resin.

You won't be disappointed with PurelyH2O and Bryan.

I have a Ocean Reef +1 Five stage RO/DI from "The filter guys", thats under $200, well probably more with shipping, either way, I think it's a great unit !! That and they had the quickest email response out of the other 3 places I emailed, and actually one of the other places never did reply.... Granted when my order was complete, it was around $400, but I had a booster pump, auto flush, and another pre-sediment filter included...

 

[alanscott]

Spectapure is the one I hear is really good. I bought the Captive Purity, and its works well, but is slow.

 

[sodaman]

Looks like it will be PurelyH2O for the win!

WEll i want to buy a RODI too, problem is that I live in Mexico (monterrey, very close to the border maybe 2 hours in car from texas), is there any problem if I buy it over here with mexican credit card (visa of course) and shiped to a friends house who lives in the border (mcallen)???..is there any problem ?..or it cant be done??

I want to know what of this 2 RODI is good for me..I saw the nano one fomr your site purelyh20..it says it's for reef..and it's a very decent price (79 dls).. now do i will have problems with algea because this unit doesnt take phosphates and silicates??...

I did saw too the vision one...looks cool for 149 dls.. would this be much better than the nano one?..what of the 2 should I buy or do you recomend me ...???
