Sweet, I bought the aquasafe off ebay tonight. I should have it by next week

I have one question for youy guys though, do you use the last stage prefilter with the coconut shells, or do you remove that and bypass it alltogether?


P.S. Being that I have no handyman skills whatsoever I might need some help installing it.

I tee'ed it off with a valve so when I make my tank water I bypass the coconut filter and when I make my drinking water I go through it.

100 GPD, I don't know, unless you guys use a real inacurate TDS meter I don't think you'll be happy with the results. Although better than straight tap water
I can't even get a replacement RO membrane for mine for that price WOW

Something doesn't seem right!

I've been reading around the web and guys were getting around 20 TDS when using the last cocunut filter, and 0-2 TDS when not using it. _ I would be curious what the guys in this thread using are getting?
