90 GPD Refurb 
| Installation and Operation |
I bought the 90 gpd refurbished unit from Spectrapure about two years ago. It was easy to install. I live in an apartment and do not want to mess with the plumbing, so I bought an adapter to fit on my kitchen sink faucet. It takes a couple minutes to hook it up and start making water. Maintaining it consists of monitoring the TDS, and changing filters annually. I also sanitize the unit when changing filters.

| Performance vs. Expectations |
I was told by many that Spectrapure was top of the line. After using the unit for the past two years, I am a believer. This may have been my best investment for my reef yet.

| Value for money |
The refurb and inline TDS meter cost me around $150 shipped if I remember correctly. I would have easily paid double that and still would have been satisfied.

| Liked about it |
I like the fact that I get 0 TDS out of the unit for close to a year. The set up is a piece of cake. I love knowing that the water I'm going to let my animals live in is top quality.

The replacement filters could be cheaper, but with that being said, I don't mind paying the extra for the best.

Love it!
| Installation and Operation |
Reasonably easy to install, my water pressure in FL is a little low so it took what seemed like forever to get it up-and-running, and to produce water. The instructions are easy to follow, I would suggest reading a few times over before actually setting up. I read once and then ended up confusing a step or 2, but nothing that created any issue.

Meets and exceeds all. Although the production of water is slower than I would like, which I could easily solve by buying a booster pump, this unit works great!
|
| Value for money |
Totally worth it. Bought to keep myself from having to lug water from the LFS, and in the long run save $$$, however it is going to take about a year to pay for itself, which is fine by me.

Had a mix-up with my shipping label, and they were more than willing to help rectify it, however I do put majority of the blame on UPS, since they could have easily called to fix it the day it was supposed to be delivered.

Nothing about the unit, or company. My only complaint is with UPS, since they didn't bother calling when my number was on the label, and there was a misplaced delivery address number on the label, their solution was to not notify me, I only found this out by calling and complaining to UPS.

Spectrapure MaxCap 90gpd RODI
| Installation and Operation |
Easy to install, though some setups can be a bit complex depending on how you plumb things. Both the instructions and the online help via vendor forum were very helpful. Spectrapure really does a good job of walking you through setup, especially calibrating the unit so that the ratio of waste/RODI is proper. This ensures that your RO lasts it's full life. I set my system up with a RO (only) drinking water reservoir plumbed 25 feet away on the kitchen sink. Spectrapure provided all of the valves, T's, and pressure sensors to make the setup easy.
|
| Performance vs. Expectations |
Exceeds my expecations. My tank has never looked beter, and I attribute that to good RODI with low TDS. There are two built-in TDS meters, showing both in put and output. This allows you to monitor the effectiveness of the RO and DI membranes.
|
| Value for money |
You can buy a RODI for less, but I doubt that you could buy one that was the same quality anywhere. Spectrapure has a variety of types of pre & post filters depending on your water type. Each RO unit is tested, and the quality is fantastic. Surprisingly, I have not had to change my RO filter in almost two years, though I have changed my carbon block and prefilter. I still get 0-1 TDS, and I make 30gallons a month or more.

| Customer Support |
Fantastic. I was missing a piece for the installation, and they sent it, and a few other pieces, Fed-ex next day no questions asked. I would buy another unit without hesitation.

Water quality is great. Easy of use...simply on/off. Easy to change all of the filters. Great customer service.

This unit might be $50 more than other leading units, but worth it.
