RO vs RODI

[wilson_the_volleybal]

Hi all

This may be a dumb question.

I live in a condo, so installing a full RODI system is a bit difficult (I rent). I have found a portable one, that may be a bit slow in generating water, but it would work fine if I do it in advance. However, it is only RO water as the output. Would that be fine?

Thank you!

You could just put an additional canister on the output with resin and you would have RODI.

RO only might be okay. What is the TDS of your source water? What type of tank do you keep? SPS, mixed, fish only etc. Are you okay with potentially dealing with more nuisance algae? As mentioned above you can always add a DI stage and is relatively inexpensive.

Okay, that is good to know.

I don't have a TDS tester at the moment, but from Google, it is 3.25 (not sure if that is good or bad).

this is what I am looking at getting as I can store it easily, and set it up when I need to make RO water.

Although, looking at it, it may have a DI filter.
