How is this RODI system? Maxwater
 

Hey guys,

I am just starting to get in to the salt water hobby. I am just currently shopping for a RO water filtration device. Since i have never had any experiences with RO filters I need some help from you guys.

My budget is around $150. I really do not want to go over this amount. I live in Canada AB Calgary please factor in shipping too.


This is the system I am thinking of. 120 bucks free shipping and it looks reliable. But once again I have no idea what I am looking for in a RO system.

been using it for 2 years+.l added a booster pump on it a couple of months ago for around $80.no problems with it

How often do i need to replace my filters? Should I get some spare ones while i get free shipping ?

I've had several RO and RO/DI systems over the years (3 hooked up right now) and I don't think I will ever get another that doesn't have a boost pump. The Vertex Deluxe Puratek has definitely been my favourite with it's auto flushing and other bells and whistles.

I can understand that you're on a budget but the time and water you'll save is worth the extra money.

It depend on how much you use it, but I would say every 6-12 months.

Thanks for the quick reply. I only have a nano 12 gallon. I am guessing I am good for years? lol

Yes you will be good for awhile. You can always buy a TDS meter and test your water with the new filter and down the road once it starts to differ from original reading change filters

Well they have a promo gift right now. It comes with a free TDS meter :)

I wouldn't get any replacement filters, you can find them easily enough locally. Definitely get a TDS meter, mine is inline so I know what it is whenever I make water.

Might want to get a water report from your supplier and confirm what the water pressure in your house is. This will help you choose the proper system for your needs.

Here's a link to some FAQs that will answer some of the more important questions with regard to an RO system.
