Best place to buy an RO/DI in Canada

[Thaxist]

Hey!

Just I'm looking to buy an RO/DI unit, a decent quality 5 stage unit with a RO bypass for drinking water.

All of the units I've seen work out to about $275 shipped. A us unit is about $170 + $40 shipping + $50 brokerage (est).

Mops & JL Aquatics both have units but they are about $300 and really don't look that great.

Any body else have suggestions?

Thanks!
Bob

Hi Bob,

Have you checked out BWI, a Canreef sponsor, I think Tyler's specialty is water treatment, I'm sure he can help you out.

I purchased my system from BWI last April, before they were a sponsor here. Great unit, fair price.

Really... I wouldn't say BWI is doing anything wrong. As a sponsor and an expert it is very helpful for anyone with RO/DI questions. It would be foolish of them not to respond to every RO thread.

Surprised no one else mentioned this; check eBay also. Some deals to be had there. I bought my unit there (5 stage RODI) and am satisfied with the unit and the price. It was within Canada too so no brokerage/customs to deal with.

Crytone,

Do you remember what seller you bought from?

Thanks

I believe I bought it from a seller named max.supplies
The price was very good (about half of what you found.. shipped to my door) and the unit is decent. It does what I want it to! The only thing is it doesn't have a RO bypass like you stated you wanted, but I don't forsee that being overly hard/expensive to add.

RO bypass for drinking can be easily plumbed with a few T valves and ball valves commonly sold in Home Depot.
