My point was you can spend the same amount of money and move it all you want and not have to buy a additional mounting point. also the pricing valves can crimp the line a bit if you mess up putting them on, not often but I have had to fix a couple mistakes from people trying to hook tap water units up.

Your in stealth mode there! (Lurking the board cloaked or something)

OK then, The peircing valve should not be used by anyone who can't opperate a screwdriver.

You two

What if they don't know how to opperate an old fashioned screwdriver but know how to use a new "high tech" cordless drill

When you order the unit off ebay you have a choice of three different attachments to have one is the need piercing and other is the faucet attachment and theres one other i cant remember.

I bought the faucet adapter because I am renting and I'm sure my roommate (landlord)would have been thrilled if I had left her with a hole in her water pipe (regardless if it could have been fixed its nice to know I don't have to do it).

I'm not saying it's wrong to use the faucet adapter, just that it's not a big deal at all to tap into a cold water supply.

Each to their own I guess.

Hey guys, just checking out ebay (can't believe how much cheaper than at Home depot, insane) for a ro/di unit. I don't think my under the counter unit will provide me with the amount of water I'll need, and its hooked up to my fridge and drinking tap so I'd like to keep the new one seperate.

Anyway I'm not sure which way to go between the 2 most common ones I've seen.

I like the AQUARIUM 110GPD RO+DI REVERSE OSMOSIS FILTER
at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...348780600&rd=1
As it seems to have standard filters and you buy extra resin and accesories for them.

The other one USA Reef 6 st 100GPD Reverse Osmosis RO+DI Water Filter at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...347902785&rd=1
Also seems good, but it looks like it may have proprietary filters that can only be ordered from them.

Does anyone have any suggestions or comments on either unit?

Thanks

go with the one out of Vancouver it will be cheaper. for the second one they are standard sized filters but the DI and post carbon (which you don't need for the tank) are different style but still common. also it says US shipping only.

the first one says USP shipping at 30.00 US to Canada so add 35.00 brokerage and some more for duty and you are looking at 100 cdn on top of what you pay easy.

you could upgrade the membrane and put a take off inline befor it goes to your tap. a lot cheeper and will work well.
