If you could buy an RO filter...

[fishfanatic2]

...with a max price of 110-120 dollars, what would you get? TIA

I've been happy with my Captive Purity and Kent 3 stage RO filters. They're closer to $150, but well worth it

I would go for this, seems like the best price for a RO/DI I have ever seen. I have used them many times successfully.

In the link, is there any difference between the value system and the other one besides the housing color?

BTW Thnx for suggestions, keep am coming.

i got it because it has a drinking kit with it. nice tasting water at all times

In addition, Premium Series RO/DI units include a valve that provides access to the RO water before it enters the DI housing, useful for accessing drinking water, and it simplifies the process of checking the performance of the RO membrane

Plus it has the clear housings and the pressure guage.

I use www.airwaterice.com and have been very happy, seems like he has some great deals and quality units.

Buy the cheapest available and use DI resin afterwards if necessary. If you have very low water pressure, get a booster pump.

Thnx for all suggestions, if you have any more, plz share. But first a question that probably is all relative and cant be answered but Ill try anyway. If I get a good RO unit like the ones you guys posted, do you think itll kill all the f***in hair algae on my LR? ANd get rid of the cyano?TIA

 

[reefann]

cyano, probably not.
Hair algae, maybe.
Have you tested your makeup water?

I have been thinking about getting one if I move to keeping corals but otherwise I don't see a need for it.

 

[Ben1]

FWIW, I use a RO/DI/DI and still get cyno once in a while. It will limit the nutrients you are adding to the reef by a lot. If you watch your feeding and continue doing a decent amount of water changes both the hair and cyno should go away. You may also need increased circulation for the cyno to go away.

Does the RO filter work good for you?
