they are really well built and i would suggest gettign the 100 gpd unit, just for the reason is, you will not get 100 gpd out of the unit unless you have a booster attached to the unit.

whats the waste water ratio?
a booster helps reduce the ratio? not too concerned about 100gpd, probably just need 1 for top ups and more weekly for water changes.

I got the MAXIMUS or something like that.
It is the one with the RO/DI and the holding tank.

Apparently you can call them directly to order. I ordered it off of E-Bay Buy Now auction. It apparently is being shipped today, so I will install it this weekend. I will let you know how it goes.

Cheers

Chad

They don't show it on the website anymore...
But its still cheaper to order from Aqua-safe's Ebay store or call them direct.
