Just wanted to let people know I installed this system last weekend and it works great. It reduces my TDS from 280 down to 3 after the RO and 0 after the DI. The waste ratio appears to be petty close to 1:1 although I haven't measured it just yet but definitely very close. Auto flush kit works great and is a nice option. Overall very happy with the unit so far and would recommend to others.

Nope but it looks just like a standard 4 stage system, with 3 canisters on the base and one RO on the top. 2 Canisters are pre-filters and the 3rd is DI cartridge. The canisters are clear which is nice.

Looks just like this:

I ordered one of these too. Filled my reservoir faster than I expected (tri-annual floor cleaning ). Easy to set up (plug and play) and I'm very happy aboout the 1:1 ratio instead of the 1:4 or 1:5 on my old unit

My unit has the same stages currently. What can I do to make my current one 1:1? Is the magic in the membrane?

What brand are the RO membranes? Is membrane life expectancy of the RO membrane reduced from the achievement of 1:1 ratio in comparison to say a typical Filmtec membrane? What about this system makes it produce 1:1? Can I retrofit my AquaFX system?

Btw, clicking on that banner doesn't link properly.
