Hey guys,

I'm thinking about buying an RO/DI system. What would you guys recommend?

They are all the same i believe, in the average jo blow range. But try to get one with more filters. The more times it runs through the canister filter generally the better quality at the other end. Also look at what percent it removes. A good one should remove up to 98% of the shit.

also be aware of the waste.........if your paying for your water {i.e. city water} most of your RO units are gonna run in the 4 to 1 ratio - -thats four gallons of water down the drain for every one gallon of RO water made - -very high end very expensive {like 800-1000 bucks} 100 gallon ber day units are in the 1-11/2 to 1 ratio

just a reminder
