Hey I looked at this on the weekend. One of the guys at Big Al's told me to go to HD as they are cheaper there. He said these are usually overpriced because they are specifically made for aquarium use.

I have not checked HD.......anyone have one? Might be worth checking out.

That's awful advice. There's good reason that the coralife units are more expensive, they use pretty decent cartridges which last much longer. The membranes probably have a better rejection rate too although I've never looked.

I use a SpectraPure 4 stage and it has operated flawlessly.
