Default what a good Ro/di unit?

I've Convinced the Mrs! Finally lol, now I just have to find one in the ball park of $150 that can attach to plumbing or a faucet in my case, that can also be used for drinking water lol tho I think most can. anyone know of a good system? I've seen some online for around 200 that come with ATO's but don't know if that would work well in my apartment

I have purchased three systems from these fellas, excellent service, free shipping and no TAX!

No one online can touch this price either
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/AQUARIUM-RO-D...item3cbce4d46a


Their company website is www.aquasafecanada.com

If you purchase though ebay it's cheaper than going though their company site.

no. I believe almost every one of them use a Dow membrane. A basic unit is well within your budget, and really all you need. You can add on later to most units if you have the desire.

No doubt it's a great unit, I have however been running one of these exact systems in my personal home for about two years, and the other units are also preforming 100%.

No need to blow a bunch of cash on a name brand nanomano, the filers and resins are all of the same chemical makeup, and produce the same results; so it makes no sense to waste money on a name in my opinion.
