OMG, why didn't I do this earlier  ! This is one of the best RO/DI units I have ever used!!! TDS reads 35ppm on the way in, 0 out!!! Just fantastic! My sediment filter turned gold in about an hour, guess on this system gonna be changing that alot...can't believe the amount of waste water I am producing, got to be at least 3x the amount for the piece of crude I was using...sure explains alot! Thank you AirWaterIce.com !!! Wonderful product!!  |

I love my III series, but even more impressive is the support you get from AirWaterIce. I am not kidding when I say its the best support ive ever received for a product.

We carry their RODIs ONLY because I use them and love them, and their customer service is THE BEST, so makes my job easy when there are issues with customers.
30ppm in, wow, your filters will last much longer  Mine is like 180-220. But out is always ZEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Still running at 35 in, filters are getting dirty fast so time will tell, but yes maiintains 0 out, even with the dirty filters...very cool, couldn't be more pleased. Just wish I had it before I bought the booster pump. For some reason my old system couldn't get any pressure, this runs on a basement sink and easily gets 75psi and could go higher without the booster pump. Can't understand why-but at least there is no trouble shooting to be done  The old system would take at least 3 months to change the filters to what I now have in a week...makes me wonder what was getting through! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a new RO/DI !!! |

I've had mine for almost three years. I do not own a TDS meter. Should it be time for a membrane change? The parameters on my tank are all perfect...including phosphate. For some reason though, I still get some cyano. Could it be the membrane? I changed the filters about a month ago. |

Mine's a five stage also...mine all looked like your sediment filter after about a week of constant use...spoke to Walter at airwaterice and he suggested I maybe change out the filter to a 20cm first....I had some extras around so I switched it out to see if it made a difference, but it seems to be clogging just as fast....a little frustrating...I really need to find a cheap 1st filter 'cause this just is too expensive to buy new ones every two weeks...at the same time may explain some of my water issues-just wish I knew what the heck is clogging out the filters so badly, so quickly.

 Yup, sure did! Really is a wonderful product! Like everything else in this hobby I just need to tweak it to my home. I'm just not quite sure if I don't need some kind of large cheap prefilter system before it even gets to the RO/DI unit. It sure is pulling out a lot, lot!, of junk that was never pulled out in other units!!  |
