RODI Unit from Pure Water

[lightcs4]

I'm going to be ordering an RODI unit before I hit the pillow tonight. I have narrowed the choice to a couple models and would like to get any thoughts before I hit the purchase button. The three models I am primarily looking at are the following:

100 GPD double DI unit:

100 GPD double DI unit with two outputs:

150 GPD double DI unit
http://www.purewaterclub.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=154

I'll be using it for both the tank and the home water cooler. Also, I would really appreciate it if anyone has a link to the faucet hookup option. I would prefer to hook it up to the faucet since the disposal takes a lot of room under the sink.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts. Sorry for such notice.

Edit: I also thought about using the float for a home made top off unit.

Well
Since your going to use it for drinking water too.I think I would get #2 on your options.

 

[lightcs4]

Thanks Yote! I appreciate your input.

Also, don't feel like the three I listed are the only options. I've done a good bit of research and know I am past due for an RODI. However I'm not adverse to looking at other models either.

I'm over due for a ro/di system myself.Just got to find enough room to install one.The wifes got all the cabinet space taken and dont want a filter hanging on her utility room wall for some reason.
So if I get time this summer,I may have to run some plumbing and install a system right next to my tank.

Wow! Now I don't feel so bad. I thought everyone had one, especially you as your corals look great. I will likely bypass the skimmer due to the budget as I can only get one or the other.

My tank is getting some algae so I want to lower the phosphates. I have been pushing off this purchase for a long while due to the cost.

By the way, am I correct in assuming I shouldn't have to put in water treatment with an RODI unit? I want to be done with it.

 

[yote]

Yeah,you wont have to worry about the water treatments after you get the ro to running.
I've been buying distilled water from wal-mart.You should see the look on peoples faces when I'm in the check out line with 2 carts full of distilled water:D

You should bring a camera. That would be one funny picture.

My already warned me about trying that:grumble: Said if I brought the camera to wal-mart,She wouldnt get one more gallon for my tank:frustrat:

 

[lightcs4]

Maybe, but it would be cool finding out ...

Personally, I like the double DI units.
I have a single DI unit from PWC and I still get 5-10 TDS readings.
My buddy bought the dual DI and reads zero.

You can convert any of the single output units to dual output units by adding THIS from PWC. If you want the carbon "taste" filter, you can buy that separate too.

I'm happy with my purchase. The instructions were definitely CHINESE, but I was able to muster through it. Make sure you INSTALL your RO filter into the case!!! I made that stupid mistake (they sent a bunch of replacement filters and the RO wasn't installed, just lumped with the replacements. I assumed it was installed and wondered why my TDS was 300ppm after installing the system!

:-) Have fun!

 

[lightcs4]

Thanks Messiah. I am strongly leaning toward Yote's suggestion. I really want to have the ability to attach it to the sink. Sounds like the second option will work well.

 

[daugherty]

that is the one i have and it is great

 

[lightcs4]

OK, it's getting ordered right now. Thanks for the input.

 

[Alexander]

Oh man. Every time I walk up to the checkout like with ocean pure salt buckets full of ro water the person in checkout line is all "what is that?????" Haha


I'm additionally riding this thread to see if someone posts the faucet adapter, though I have been exploring hooking it up above the washing machine.

 

[daugherty]

here you go alexander

[lightcs4]

Funny, I just walked out of Walmart today with a five gallon bucket. I understand how Alexander feels. Hopefully the unit will come before I have to get another bucket of water.

 

[Alexander]

oh man i go in there with minimum 6 buckets. sometimes its multiple carts.

Yeah, but I only have a 46 gal tank. I'd be happy to trade places with you ... I'll get you the address of where to ship your tank :mrgreen:

 

[pinstripes]

how did you hook up your unit? I ordered one from pwc and the instructions are impossible. I only want to use a faucet for it and theres nothing on this unit that connects to a faucet?

 

[daugherty]

you need to but a seperat peice to do that here is what you need this is from purewaterclub.com
