I think best thing to get is at least 4-stage system that has a deionizer(DI) filter.The GPD is how much water can pass through the filter and still get zero(or near zero) TDS.Water pressure in your home will determine that so buying one that can do 200gpd might be useless if you don't have enough pressure.Still,you can get a booster pump if there isn't enough.Don't forget a TDS meter.

Some people have had problems from this people.Biff,me and several others have a unit from this company with no problems.I've been using this company for years now.

I'm using a six stage(double DI) unit.I get zero TDS as soon as it turns on,no flushing except when it first was installed.The unit,TDS meter and free shipping came out to less then $130.

Try also these places.I have no experience with these company but have read good things.

tds... stand for what???

 

[Bifferwine]

Total Dissolved Solids/Salts. It will measure how pure the water is (and how well the RODI unit is working).

You can buy a TDS meter on Ebay for $10 to $15.

what about this??? any good for the money

Coralife Pure-Flo II - 50 GPD RO System

 

[Bifferwine]

That's very small (only 3 stages), and doesn't produce a lot of water. You are better off looking at the 3 sites reeffreak linked to. You can get one that's twice the size and produces twice as much water for that price.

50 gpd and i have only a 75 gl tank!!!50 gpd is to small??

 

[Bifferwine]

Why would you pay that for a 3-stage 50 gallon per day unit when you could get a 6-stage 100 gallon per day unit for the same price? 50 gallons per day might not be too small for you, but 3 stages is not a lot of filtration.

yes you right.... i work hard for my money

good call biff.

and 50 gpd. thats only 2 gal every hour, thats really slow, just think how long it would take you to make water for top offs or water changes.
