I have an AquaFX RO/DI 100gpd unit that is a carbon copy of the one pictured. I looked on another site and the 200gpd will have 2 membranes and the 300gpd will have 3.

I currently have the aqua fx in 150 gpd.
I will not replace the membranes or filters again. I found aqua safe sells their ro/Di units for a more economical price to buy new.
I am going to order the 150 gpd with all new supplies including tds meter,auto shut off etc.6 sets of replacement filters and Di resin refil for $178 + shipping.
I was referred to them through a friend on another forum. there is also a i believe a 15% discount if you use the code " BCAquaria"
Im not trying to change your mind but its worth researching the cost of replacement parts over a whole new unit.

I've actually got a 100 GPD Aquasafe RODI right now. I was just thinking a larger ne might be better for a 700G system. What do most people use on a large system like that? I plan on changing 100G's every two weeks.

That unit you're looking at isn't 300GPD. And it looks well used, AND the seller probably doesn't know what it is. I notice he's also selling a 175w MH for 100 bucks, also not worth it (I know because I gave it to him for free )

Joel is selling his 1000GPD unit for 250, might be more what you're looking for.

This may not help much but my new system is about 550 gallons so far and have 2 90 gallon poly tubs that I run with float valves. I have always used the vertex 100 gpd rodi units it allows me to turn it on and once its full the vertex has pressure sensors that turn off the unit. I also run water on the floor sensors as a backup if it failed but havnt had an issue yet been doing it like that for 3 years with my old system. But I also plan kn changing 90 gallons bi weekly, nothing worse than waiting for water or in emergency so that's why I have 2 tubs but they are cumbersome and take up a lot of space.
