Which RO/DI unit to purchase?

[bkhunt]

I am looking to purchase my first RO/DI unit and am looking for the best bang for my buck. I have seen several on Ebay but I am not sure of the quality. I also have an offer from the person I bought my system off of to purchase his, Spectrapure MaxCap 90gpd that needs filters. Please let me know your opinions.
I have been purchasing my water from the local grocery store that has a RO/DI/UV kiosk.

Thank

I really like my 75gpd 5 stage from www.buckeyefieldsupply.com You will be hard pressed to find better customer service.

what is a fair price to pay for it since I can buy a brand new one for $225 from MarineDepot?

This looks like I opened a can of worms here. Looks like people are having thier favorites across all the popular brands.

If you buy his spectrapure keep in mind that their filters are really expensive. $20 for the sediment filter and $20 for the carbon block. Assuming you replace these every six months it will start to add up after awhile.

I thank everyone for the input. I am thinking of going with the refurb SpectrsPure. I beleive it will work perfect for me. I only need about 10-15 gallons of RO a week. A few for top off and 10 for water change. The carbon filter is good for 20,000g which should last me a few years so I will just have to change DI and partical as needed.
