Reverse Osmosis System
So if a person moves out to the country to a property with crappy well water, can they install a R/o system to enable them for use in fresh and saltwater aquarium use.? If so.... how big of an investment is one looking at?

Depends on how much gpd (gallons per day) you need to put out.
I have a 100gpd unit in my quanset

I use a single pre-filter and then an RO/DI 5 stage unit. You will more than likely have to use a booster pump as most well set-ups run a holding tank that switches on the main pump when it hits 40 psi and builds up pressure till 60 psi. The booster pump will run at about 80 psi to help the RO unit be the most efficient and give better life for the filters. Check on E-Bay and you should find everything for around $350 - $400 range (seeing out dollar really sucks right now)

You should go take a look over at BulkReefSupply.com (CanReef Sponsor). They have everything and then some to get you setup with the best RO/DI unit money can buy
