Are you wondering about RO unit's or underthe sink single chamber carbon type units?

Marcus K 10-28-2003 04:08 PM

RO units, I have a under sink filter that I have been using for tank water that has a Charcoal cartridge and a Micron(25). I am having green water problems in my tank that I think may be a result of the tap water. The water did turn cloudy shortly after a 10% water change. I did another water change with RO/DI water that I bought last night. Hard to say if it has helped any yet. I go throught 3 18L water jugs that I fill at Safeway every week and a half that the Dogs and Cat drink so it would pay for its self in the long run.

Well I got my RO/DI unit from J/l

It's a Kent maxxima 60gpd RO/DI unit. I got the ro/di unit for the purest water possible. I use this unit for drinking water as well by just Ting off the water before it goes into the DI cartridge.

I know there are many diffrent brands out there and I'm sure you can't go wrong with any of them. I am happy with my kent unit.

cheers

Thanks for the info, would I need to add any elements to the water or does the Salt take care of that? Thanks again.

Salt takes care of that. If your using the water for drinking you would want to get it before the DI cartridge. I have heard that drinking
DI water is not good for you and Yes I have tried it and it doesn't taste too good either :rolleyes: :lol:

Thanks Jonathan, I may try the Aguasafe, seems to be a good price and Canadian. :biggrin:
