Gauging Interest - RO/DI Unit Group Buy

[shiveley]

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in participating in a group by on RO/DI units. I have three vendors in mind, though I will have to wait on some of the particulars until I have a better idea of how many units we would need. The proposed vendors are:

purelyh2o.com
air water ice.com
spectrapure.com

purelyh20 would offer a unit discount of $20 off each unit.
*There is a 5 unit minimum order.

air water ice would offer Free Shipping and 15% off for orders totaling between $900 - $1,999.00 or Free Shipping and 20% off for orders totalling $2,000.00 & up
*The minimum order is $900.00

I'm still waiting on spectrapure, and will post an update once I hear back from them.

Also worthy of note: These offers are not restricted to any one particular model, so we would be able to mix and match our order to meet anyone's specific needs. We will , however, need to decide which vendor we would prefer working with, if at all.

Anyway, at this point I just thought I'd throw the idea out there. If you're interested please let me know.

Thanks!

Just wanted to add I LOVE my AWI Typhoon III RODI unit.
Best money spent of reefing yet.

Have you tried The Filter Guys.I recieved my RO/DI unit from them last week and It works awesome, produces about 80 gal a day, which is plenty with my 750 gal's of saltwater tanks.The system was very easy to install and at a very reasonable price for the unit I bought, the Ocean Reef +2.

The Filter Guys don't do group buys.

I do not know about water and ice but the Filter Guys prices are more than 20 percent cheaper without a discount or group buy then the other two with comparable units.They are very nice guys that have great customer service and even looked up my water report while I was on the phone to give me the best unit for my needs!!!!!

I'm still getting 0 TDS after my RO before the DI with my filterguys OCEAN REEF + 1 RO/DI after using it for a year and only changed out prefilters every 6 months.

Jim is very great to deal with. He also looked up my area water report in the middle of the night after I sent him and email not knowing he would do it right away to see if my area uses chloramines or not.

like funman1, I'm kind of partial to the AWI Typhoon III RODI.

This is the Group Pricing available from Spectrapure:

*They have a $500 minimum order requirement.

It's looking like AWI would be our best bet IF we can meet the minimum purchase requirement. I'd be looking at the TYPHOON III RO/DI unit for myself. so if we can get another 6 of 7people interested as well we just might be able to make it worth while.
