    So I am finally going to buy a RO/DI unit. I have a 55 gal tank and I dont need a large one. I want to know what you guys have and maybe get an idea as to what unit would be best for me. Also, since I am a college student, moving is always in the back of my mind. So I am looking for something that I can easily reconnect and take with me. thanks!

    I have the AWI mighty might, it is easy too use and i got the 75gal per day membrane at no extra charge. Also I was having issues with High tds a couple months after getting it, they sent me a brand new membrane and di filter free of charge.

    Bulk reef Supply makes a nice ones, filters are cheap to replace, I have the 5 stage 75gpd with duel commercial tds meters for $275. The customer service is exquisite. Just tap your cold line under your dorm sink with the included saddle valve then when you move just buy a new saddle valve $6. Because if you can't take it off after you put it on. No one will ever no./DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/unsure.gif

    The more filters you have the less time you'll spend replacing them. Some filters protect the next. Sediment, Carbon, Ro, membrane Then Di two times.
