RO System Clarification

[warden13]

I am looking to purchase a RO system for drinking and reef. The systems at airwaterice.com looks good but I wasn't sure which one would be best for drinking & reef. The two I am comparing is Dual Home/Reef & Typhoon III models. I only need the RO/DI water for tank top-off so I don't need a lot of RO/DI water production. Is the water quality any different between these units? Is the DI cutt-off & membrane flush essential in a ro system? The Dule H/R doesn't come with these but is does come with a 3.5 gal tank ($69 value). Also, is it easy to switch from RO and RO/DI water? I figure that the tank would store the RO water and you will some how be able to get the RO/DI water directly from the filter. Is that right? I am trying to stay around $200. The Typhoon III would be an easy choice if the tank came with it.

Go with the Typhoon III and add the pressure tank. Plumb the RO only valve to your pressure tank and the RO/DI valve to your auto-topoff or whatever. No valve manipulations required at the watermaker.
