which one is better??? air water ice or bulk reef supply ro/di unit?

Look at any kind of upgrades you may want.
I have the AWI Typhoon 150 and its a great RODI unit.
It has dual TDS meters and an inlet PSI gauge which is really convenient.
Im probably going to add an auto shut off in the future just so I dont have to monitor it as much.

I like the build of the AWI filters, the canisters are beefier and the whole unit itself feels alot more solid solid. I have a few of the extra canisters from BRS to I can compare the two. The quick fittings on the BRS are better than the AWI units unless they changed them recently. The BRS 5 stage splits their canisters into 3 and 1 separate while the AWI has a 4 filter bracket which I think is better.

I don't know if the filters themselves are better but im sure you will get 0 TDS from either the AWI or BRS filters. I like the rubber bushings on the BRS filters better because they don't fall out and they come out 2-3$ cheaper than the AWI ones for a set.

IMO, Go AWI for the units and BRS for the filter package refills. both companies are great on customer service and extra parts if something breaks.

I've been spending alot of time under my sink with the RO filters lately so i've been noticing the differences. Sigh.

I placed my order with brs they offer more then air water ice for the same price plus brs has free shipping.

I have a dual TDS meter. It reads the same as the "crap" one. So don't worry. Either one is fine

Hands down awi

I guess the question is mute but I've had my Typhoon for 12 years.

I have not hooked it up yet. But it sure does look nice.

I have 75 4 stage eco by BRS but i added to upgrade 150 GPD with the booster pump 8000 motor that PUSH faster and reducing WASTE water and be sure you get TDS meter too.
Bought it all from BRS too.

Its been running for about 8 month without problem or replace filters..

I only filling 5 gal every weekend for water change.

I hooked it up to washer machine cold line with Y adaptor

8 months? You should really check your sediment filter... mine is dirty in 1.

 

[Jakef150]

It look good..

I'm curious, what color will it change to when it's dirty?:eek1:

Mines tds showed 55 in and 0 out.

Also once a while I flushed it

Rust Brown.

Should have a pressure gauge. Take note of the pressure with new sediment filters...then when u see a drop in pressure, that's how u know to change the sediment filter.

Yup its light rust brown.

PSI Pressure without booster 40psi and with booster on- 80psi

I don't see any change with psi reading.

Good thing I have all filter spares

I think all should buy an extra filters as back up when need to replace.
