RO/DI's at LFS's? Today?

[SSpiro]

I'll be in Orlando today, do any LFS's in Orlando stock GOOD RO/DI setups, and open today?

Looking to spend under $200, 4-stage, 75gpd, Pressure guage, and TDS meter.

There are some good deals in Tampa, but a lot of stores closed on Sundays.

You'll do better online. RC has several sponsors that sell RO/DI setups here

sitc i think carries aquafx and they have a 4 stage barrcuda that has inline tds, pressure guage and autoshut off. very nice systems. as far as buying online why not spend the money a lfs to support the local economy instead of buying from areas as far as newyork to support there's. to make the sponsers on here happy see if wwc has one

Take a breath. My suggestion to buy online was simply to save the guy a few bucks. RO/DI set ups are not common in LFSs I've been to, and when I have come across them, they're priced high.
As for supporting your local fish store, I'm actually a big supporter of that mentality.
To be clear, I can think of at least three RO/DI dealers in Fla. off the top of my head that sponsor RC, and one in Texas, a couple in Ca. even one in Ohio. I can't come up with a single one in New York.

we have around 12 lfs around here and more than half carry them in stock. and with a club discount they can match most online vendors prices

Aw man. Not an orlando member. Bummer.

Sitc has one for 225. I guess ill just buy online. That's $50 more

That's more than I can say. I might have a dozen LFSs in driving distance (50 miles). No way 6 of them sell RO/DI. Things are different here, than they are there, I suppose. I still wasn't trying to kill a LFS sale, just advising, based on my experience here, that Online may be a better choice.
Oh, and FWIW, I don't really care if you buy from RC's sponsors, or not. I imagine they do, and I'd like to see them continue to support the board, but you (and everyone else) are free to spend your hard earned money any way, any where you want to.

SITC is a sponsor last time I checked.
