Default Source for RO membranes?

So what is the best source for RO membranes? AquaFX has the 100gpd for $49 US, but are there other sources?

Kyle, I need a 100gpd TFC membrane to fit a standard hobbyist housing. Wasn't aware of different styles, so I guess just "regular"

Brad, did you check out Prostar Mechanical ?
They have a big showroom with various R.O. systems, fittings, valves etc.
They are located at 320 Mary st. off Esquimalt rd.

Gary, I didn't, but I find them very expensive on other things I get there. I may have actually asked them a long time ago, but I can't recall. Steve gets a discount there, but he's run away from home for a while and can't help me out.

Yes, expensive they are !
My Aquasafe is RO/DI is a third of the cost to a comparable (OEM) unit
they carry. ( $120 vs. $375 )
All I need now is a large water storage container on wheels and then just wait patiently for a complete reef tank when one comes up for sale here in Victoria.

So far they have the best price, but I have a couple of other possibilities also.
Em, what do you end up paying after all is said and done?

if you water psi is aceptable I can get you a 100/160 gpd for between 100 and 130.00 it does 100 gpd@60psi and 160 gpd@90psi. is this an emergency or are you just preparing for a change? I will be home on the 2nd of Aug.. by the way hows my fish tank doing?
