Ro/di ?

I need to replace my filters and I'm wondering what filters you guys are using. I have a 3 stage plus RO membrane. I'm thinking of doing a sediment- carbon block- DI resin- RO membrane. I am not sure, I have been used to buying water and not filters. I don't miss the drive to Cototi everytime just to get a little H2O.

Yes, that's a good plan (sediment, carbon, RO, DI in that order).

I've been using the Mako (all the above stages with two carbon "chloramine blasting" filter units and two color changing DI resin filter units) from AquaFx (aquariumwaterfilters.com). Their product and service has been excellent for me.

Once you have a system going you're going to wish you had done it sooner.

I picked up a Case of these from Bulk Reef Supply and have been very happy with them.

Full Case of Mixed Filters

This package includes the following .

* Ten (10 )5 Micron Purtrex Depth Sediment filters
* Five (5) 5 Micron MATRIKX + CTO/2 Carbon Filters
* Five (5) 0.6 Micron MATRIKX® +1 Carbon Filter Cartridges

This combination allows you to change out your sediment fillers more frequently and extend the life of your carbon blocks.

Oh, yea, the best price I have seen on membranes is buckeyefieldsupply.com

Thanks. My tds is reading 10. I took out the filters to see what was in there, sediment- two carbon blocks- then RO membrane. I want to add a DI chamber to it.

Chris, if you want to use one for DI chamber you might have to reroute the output line.

 

[crispyreef]

Is the DI resin the last chamber the H2O passes, not RO membrane?

+1 for BRS they are the cheapest and best i have found

 

[northbay-reefer]

Chris, yes
