davenia7 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 So, I'm contemplating taking the plunge. Our water system announced that they are starting to alter the water sources for my tap water in April and that I may no longer be guaranteed to get the RO/DI water from the desalination plant. So, by the end of March, I want to get a RO/DI system for my house. However, I live in a townhouse and I don't want anything permanently installed. I need about 7 gallons of water a week, so I just need a small system and I would prefer something that would install to one of my faucets instead of hard-lining in. So, do I have an option for something that I could hook up for the day before I'm mixing water to a faucet in my spare bathroom? Something small and reasonably priced. I know I could go to the LFS and buy water but seriously, I never get out of there for less than $100, so that's just NOT a reasonable option. And I don't have anywhere to store water if I bought more than a few gallons at a time. Link to comment
Supersizeme Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 ask AZDesertRat, i would say that he would recommend the one for $149: http://www.spectrapure.com/email/customer-...eciation.html#1 Link to comment
jsw Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I have the Typhoon RODI from Air, Water & Ice. I highly recommend it... http://www.airwaterice.com/c=YkSeU6EzggkBE...Nz0/category/1/ Edit: I have mine hooked up to a faucet. It's not the most compact unit though. Link to comment
AZDesertRat Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 For a basic reef quality RO/DI the ProPlus is impossible to beat. http://www.spectrapure.com/email/customer-...eciation.html#1 It comes with a batch tested 90 GPD membrane, 1 micron pre and carbon block filters, full size 20 oz vertical DI with fresh SilicaBuster resin, a dual inline TDS meter, pressure gauge and a hose bib adapter. All you need is a faucet adapter for your particular faucet if it does not have hose threads and you are ready to go. Your title was asking about the best RO/DI and that of course would be the MaxCap for $100 more, its unique in the marketplace with its individually hand tested and guaranteed RO membrane, absolute rated prefilter and dual DI filters but is a little larger unit, still could be portable though and has superior DI life.

OClownsandNanos Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 +1 to Spectrapure ProPlus. I also got their faucet adaptor separately and it's a nice chrome one that separates - I keep the top part on the faucet at all times, then snap in the part attached to the RO/DI input line when I want to make ro/di water. Makes it really easy for my husband to use the bathroom sink downstairs when he's working in the office. Link to comment
davenia7 Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 I'm not against spending a bit of money. Under $200 preferably. But I'm open to ideas. Link to comment
AZDesertRat Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 The ProPlus is $149 complete, they don't come any better or cheaper for that quality. Link to comment
