The Vertex Puratek100 is actually only CDN $370 at J&L and is actually not a bad price for what you get. It has an inline TDS meter and built in booster pump. It is pretty efficient and is close to 1:1 in waste to RO water production. Cheaper units generally produce about 3 to 5 times as much waste water as RO water. That is the one I have and it is great.

It's a little noisy but not really loud. I only run it for short periods to fill a couple of 5 gallon bottles as I need them so the noise isn't a problem. I suppose if you were running it non stop or very frequently it might get annoying. But it is a true 100 gpd so it fills my bottles quickly. Many RO units claim to be 50gpd or 100gpd but are actually alot less efficient. With the booster pump this one is fairly efficient so I don't actually run it alot.
One other nice feature is that it automatically back flushes every 15 minutes or so to keep the filters from clogging up.

Aqua-safe are cheap and they work. I wouldn't use one if they didn't work...don't get distracted by the pressure guages and the inline TDS meter, they are not accurate and don't work long IME.

Which after shipping will still be more than double what a CHEAP ebay unit will run... Heck straight RO no DI - 90$ at bulk reef - less than a 1/4 the price...
Albert you've got strange idears about cheap...

Is aquasafe no longer in business? How do you buy a unit these days? I had one and other than the auto-shutoff failing (cheap to replace) it worked great.
