    Thanks guy's I will also ask is there any certain way to tell when it's time to replace the filters or do you just test the water that's coming out of the line

    In the past, I've gotten my replacements from BRS and been very happy. You could check out Buckeye Field Supply (www.buckeyehydro.com) also. They have offered good advice on the GIRS forums from time to time, and I would also consider them the next time I need to order anything for my RODI system.

    +1 for air, water, ice. Always had good luck with them.
    As mentioned buckeye hydro drops by and offers some excellent RO/DI advice. Both these 2 companies are club sponsors and will get you set up with what you need.

    Are you referring to the membrane itself, or the housing that you shove the membrane into?
    The replaceable membrane has a rubber seal on one end and O-rings on the other usually. As for the housing, I don't think mine has any o-rings, but I can't say for certain. Does it look there there is a groove for an o-ring?

    Blackx-runner I'm talking about the white cylinder that the membrane goes into I looked at some on Google and seen that they should have a o ring picked one up from menards for 59¢ hooked it back up no leaks......thanks for your response
