FS: RO/DI unit + extras
 
Exactly the same thing as the Aqua Aquarium found on ebay. Bought it for around 90-100 bucks I believe.

http://www.telusplanet.net/public/me...um/Sale/ro.jpg

Comes with tds meter, faucet adapter, all the john guest fittings I can find, all the RO tubing that I have (~30 feet), and any other assessories that I can scrounge up. I believe the filter membranes are still in good working condition, but the DI resin has been used up. Which is why I'm throwing in the two boxes you see beside the unit. Both are packed with DI resin, and can be used in the RO/DI unit.

$50 firm, pickup only.

ahhhh no way ! too bad this is pick-up only as I would definitely consider purchasing this... I really have wanted RO/DI but I am too much of a cheapy to order one new online (yes I know, I am a cheapy) If you have a change of heart let me know ...

I would ship... but I don't know if the membranes will cease to function after they've been dried out? If you find out otherwise, I'll be more than happy to drain it and ship everything out to you (at your cost of course).

Slight change in what I'm selling. Unit will no longer include PSI meter.

Sorry all

You can't ship it dry, the RO membrane (expensive part) will be toast.

Then how did you get it there in the first place? Can't you fill it with water and then plug the ends??

Just wondering.

Yup. I've only ever bought two of these but I think that's how you receive them if memory serves.

Usually, when you buy a new R/O unit, the membrane comes vacuumed pack and is already wet with either water or some sort of chemicals to prevent the membrane from getting destroyed. That's why they recommend you dispose of the first few gallons of R/O water as this water is used to flush away these chemicals.
