Which model is everyone buying? Tank or tankless?
Are you getting a inline TDS meter from the same place?

I'm using the home plus unit with the tank.

I purchased the home unit 75gpd with tank almost two years ago. I picked up a handheld TDS meter from them along with a box of replacement filters (3 years supply)

So far so good.

Home plus with tank. The tank takes up space but it gives you a quick shot of water for smaller water changes or for instant use.

Tank is made of stainless steel right? If that is the case I would get the model without the tank. I think it is called the aquarium system. I didn't want anything metal storing my water. I just got mine in the mail, haven't hooked it up yet.

Whoops! I was wrong, the tank has a plastic liner, so I guess it would be handy!

I have the model without the tank, that way i can connect it to an float valve in my top off tub.

i bought the tankless model, i run the filter and fill up a 5 gallon container from the grocery store water. this gives me a few days of water handy...

Stainless maybe, but theres a bladder and a liner in there for sure.

The TDS readings from the water in my tank still remain at zero. :mrgreen:

You can still connect an auto top off to the home plus unit.

And when you put a Tee in the line you have a tap and an auto top off!(And reserve water for whatever you want.) :mrgreen:

I just ordered the tankless model that comes with a free tds meter. I too will be filling a 5 gallon water jug, you can buy little hand pumps for them for quick access to your water. Are you buying through Ebay?

Yup, same place you just ordered from. :smile: How did you get a free TDS? They advertise a free PSI meter..?

Oops, I just realized that i do get a free PSI meter not a TDS meter with it. I'm bumbed out now. :frown: Oh well, it still a good deal.

The PSI meter is just as useful as the TDS meter. It's the only piece of equipment that tells you what's going on within your ro/di unit. You'll be happy you got it. You can get an inline TDS meter with dual readings for input/output for about 45.00CAD. They use John Guest connectors, so it'll take you literally 1 minute to install it.

I wrote him asking if I can switch the PSI or a TDS (same price)... will see.

Walter,
Don't be offended if you get some kind of quirky or snippy reply. Sometimes, I think Ed is a hermit. :lol:
Hopefully Kassandra will answer your email.

If I would have noticed my error right away I would have tried but they have probly shipped mine already.
