Good deal?

Not sure but I wouldnt buy it unless you know someone that has one and loves it. Buying it sight unseen may not be a good idea. There are a lot of people selling crap on Ebay. i own a 6 stage RO/DI from Bulk Reef Supply.
 
+1 for Bulk Reef Supply...
or look at The Filter Guys for an inexpensive RO/DI unit that many people on RC use...(I use their filter cartridges) just my $.02 ;)
 
I started out with one of those ebay units. After I altered the horizontal DI chambers into a vertical one and changed out the membrane, it would have been better for me to pay a little extra in the beginning to get a decent RODI.
 
I bought one for my uncle and hate it, it is a POS. white canisters so i can't see anything, JACO fittings a PITA, cheap membrane, and an expensive to maintain DI canister

Why did you have to change the membrane?
 
I have one and am happy with it. It does have white canisters, but I change the pre-filters every 6 months and don't need to see the filters anyways. I did buy an add-on 10 inch DI container and ditched the horizontal ones. I DIY'd a carbon reactor with the old containers. It's been a while since I checked my RO TDS, but I was getting about 600 to 650 in and 12 to 15 before DI.

After making about 200 gallons of water, the TDS started going over 25. I changed out the prefilter, carbon, and altered the DI chambers, but the TDS was still high. My incoming water is about 160, and the product water was around 10 - 15 after the changes so I figured it had to be the membrane. After I changed out the membrane, the product water is around 2 - 4.
 
160 TDS incoming water isnt bad at all. You should be getting thousands of gallons of water out of that membrane.

That's what I thought. It must have been a defective membrane.

Have you contacted the seller with this membrane issues?
Did they replaced it on warranty or you had to pay for it?

I just chalked it up as a loss.
 
I haven't read all the posts but I will say that any unit that offers a HORIZONTAL DI cartridge is junk... period.
