Hey Brad/Myka/Blom,
Thanks for your input. It really helped quite a bit. I ordered the unit along with the pieces I think will be best for my needs. I did do quite a bit of research myself before I posted this thread so I'll also post what I purchased. I hope it will help others in their decision making.
- 75 GPD RO/DI 5 Stage Drinking and Reef Water System
- Membrane Flush Kit
- 150 GPD Water Saving Upgrade Kit
- Glycerin Filled Pressure Gauge 1-100 PSI
- Dual Inline TDS Meter DM-1 HM Digital
I figure If I'm going to buy a reverse osmosis kit I might as well incorporate it into our drinking water if I can as well. That way it will save me on fridge, brita filters and whatever else I can save on.
I don't like wasting water so I purchased the Water Saving Kit.
The pressure guage I think was a cheap piece and if these things work better at a certain psi I will know what psi I have in my house.
Brad, I agree with what you said about the Inline TDS Meter. Knowing when to flush/change your filters is key to getting the most from your RO unit; both after the RO stage and after the DI stage. Who wants to be playing guessing games with their equipment. Taking the guess work out is key. Plus it was a cheap add-on.
Thanks and I hope this will help others.
Mark
