wtb: r/o system

[seaduck]

I dont know anything about them. I'm not sure how big of one i need.
I have a 75 gal tank that should require 5 gals a week for top off. I also have a freshwater pond aprox 200 gals that needs a top off once a week or so. Do they make units that install directly to my outside faucet that I can attach a hose to and use to fill the pond?

I got all my stuff from FilterDirect ebay store:

I noticed there are a few other big ebay sellers now, so you might want to check those out too.

I like the Typhoon III, you can also look into John over at FAOIS building you one....

I think thats the one I got, can't remember... I've had it almost 2 years now and love it.

I know when I got mine I asked for the 75GPD membrane in a 110GPD unit because the 75 was much better.

I'm still using the orig membranes and only get ~6-8 on the TDS meter. It reads 0 after DI.

Before you buy, make sure you check out some of the other suggestions on here too.

OK thanks...what I am gathering here is that u get what u pay for. After checking around it seems that 99.00 is a very good price for the ebay unit. The fact that it does 110gpd might indicate that the membrane may be low quality and i should upgrade to one that does less gpd to improve quality?.......hope im catching on??? I would probably feel more comfortable purchasing a unit from someone local so if i have probs with it i can take it back. I dont know how problematic these things are or how long they should last.

I have gotten several from FAOIS and as usual john is all about putting together a great RO unit.

I also second the reference to FAOIS and working with John and his wife Jenn (sp?). He has helped me several times with other problem and is now a valuable resource when I run into problems.
