Best RO/DI Unit For Under $200?

[Jonnny]

I've been looking at so many different RO/Di units and I think I've found one that would meets the needs of my 60 gallon soon-to-be system.
www.purelyh2o.com has the optima automated system that has:

Stage 1: 1 micron sediment filter
Stage 2: 1 micron solid carbon block
Stage 3: 75 gpd RO element
Stage 4 : 10 inch refillable DI chamber
John Guest tube and fittings
100 PSI RO pressure gauge!
Auto shut off system!
Aluminum bracket
PSI tested up to 150 psi Non Cycle
Shipping Dimensions 16" x 10" x 16

It also has options for a 150gpd upgrade which is $10 extra, garden hose or faucet adapter, flush kit and dual TDS monitor.

If I bought this system with 150gpd, faucet adapter, flush kit, and dual TDS monitor the total price comes to $208.

Do you guys think this is a good deal? Is there a better package deal out there? If so please let me know. :hmm4:

did you get it and if so how has it worked out for you?

You could have a look at the bulk reef supply ones. I am in the market for one in this price range as well.

I also am looking for an RO/DI unit. I had a Coralife one a few years back and really liked it. My tank seemed to thrive even with the TERRIBLE water I was putting into the unit to begin with. It was filtering well water and came out perfect.

The one the OP mentioned is weird because I have never heard of a "refillable di chamber"
How does that work? Is that better in the long run?

Or does refillable mean you can buy new filters? Id assume that is what it means.

This unit looks like a nice unit with a great price. What do people think?

I absolutely love my bulkreefsupply plus. Pressure gauge and tds meter built in. Comes with all the adapters and great instructions too.

I don't think purelyh20 does free shipping, so the brs one comes out to be less I believe. I did buy the purelyh20 booster pump though. Seemed to be a better buy than the aquatec kit brs sells.
