Hi guys,

Im looking to buy an RO/DI unit soon.I would like to know which one you recommend as being the best available,as long as its not oober money!
I wont need alot of water so a 50 gallon/day unit would be fine.Also any pro's and cons would be great.

Cheers

Dave

If you've got pretty good water pressure I don't think there is much difference between units personally.
I don't use resin as my mains only has tds of 70 -90 and always comes out 0, just have a std RO man 3 pod unit

I have just set up a dd one (prices quite keen at moment and most willing to pricematch) and done a seperate google serch for the di chamber - come up with a 750grm DI resin unit (filled with resin) with push pipe fittings ready to plug into the DD unit for £23.50 delivered. From what i can see the resin will do about 7500 litres but this depends on the water quality going through it. All the units seem very similar in appearance as they all seem to take a universal set of filters. You should be set up for £100.
I have added an inline DI meter to my set up to see when the resin is losing its gogo juice as I'll never remember when 7000+ liters have gone through it !!

You'll have it up and running in less than 30 minutes as long as your water pressure is decent - if not a pump will be needed and the price of the set up will shoot up

Good luck
