Gotta say that tip for that e-bay seller is A++, especially because the shipping is free and there is no duty (that is where e-bay can get ya). I hope he will still be selling in a year or so when I have enough money to set up a bigger system.....maybe I will ask for this for my birthday .

I have another question for anyone who is following this...
GlobalDesigns let me know about the water here in calgary and told me that all I need is a RO unit. Is there such a thing as a simple/cheap "1 stage" RO unit that would work well but be inexpensive?

I am just trying to research all my options before I add water to my system.

You could use that, it's essentially a DI unit. You can also recharge them (really messy). Your water is pretty high in TDS, so you'd have to recharge more often than say, me, but it would work. But, that price is already half way to the ebay one....
