RO/DI Suggestions???


I know, I still dont have an RO unit. I am using distilled water though. Anyway, do I need to buy one of those fancy pants units made by the best aquarium company out there? Or are the household units capable as well? I found a unit at Sams Club. A couple people that go to my LFS use them and say they work fine but I have my doubts? It does not say on the box the GPD or the membrane rating. It is an apparent 5 stage filter with sediment, carbon, something else, the RO membrane and then another carbon filter.

Little help on this one before I buy.

Michael
