DI resin goes fast on those but otherwise a decent unit for a great price.

Nanook will say "Air, Water, and Ice.
Supreme customer service and a quality product.

I like AirWaterIce...

I bet Nook says Spectrapure,
Supreme customer service and a quality product.

I have one like that form that company. Works fairly well with my extremely bad water.

I have the same one and yes the DI resin gets used up too quickly. It works but know there are much better units out there.

 

[chadfarmer]

suggest a 75 gallon a day ro/di

 

[frenchie]

all of them on that website for aquariums ro/di or for 110 gpd and the the price is what i like and refillable di filters

Big Spectrapure fan here! They have consistently helped me with different systems and questions...they sell units that work for the long haul too. I know there are several other reputable companies out there, but I keep with the one that I used from the start when I asked which RODI to use and everyone back then said "Spectrapure". I bet a LOT of them old reefers that have been doing it for a long while still use Spectrapure too.

Buy it and change the DI unit to a bigger style. I found one at Home Depot for cheap, then buy a new refill on line "reef stop".

Why do the DI run out so fast? That was going to be my next one too. Since that one has 2 DI chambers would that make it last a little longer?

 

[frenchie]

even if they do it won't break the bank to order more look at different websites not expensive to refill. plus i use about fifteen gallons a week from evaporation. and can do big water change if need to.

 

[frenchie]

i ordered the unit should be here this week, hey lonnie were did you get those big plastic 55 gallon drums, i'm gonna need one soon.

 

[Im Lon 2]

How Many Drums you need? I have 2, one for Mixed salt and one for top off. I think Stupidsreef can get them for $10 a drum.


While you are at it invest in a Kent Float Valve. Or you will end up with water on the floor, and I'm sure more than once..

 

[levon15]

When I ordered mine I had them take out the 110gpd membrane and throw in a 75gpd instead. They did this with no issue or problem.

 

[Im Lon 2]

Why is the 75gal or 110gpd better? I'm guessing the membranes let the water through to fast not collecting enough junk, and wear out faster?

 

[sirreal63]

The 75 gpd membrane has a better rejection rate and the 50 has an even better one.
