I was looking for a new RO unit and went with the Aquasafe one from OA...$200 for the four stage RO/DI.

I had one sent from the states once...$140 for the unit, $40 for shipping and like $25 I think for brokerage fees...not worth it IMO. Its about the same price in the end but more hassle unless you really want that exact unit.

Just thought I would mention it.

Dont use the shark bites ... they will inevitably leak .. everytime !!!
I'm a plumber by trade and would strongly advise against those fittings as a permanant solution .. as a temp ok but never as a permanant solution ..

You mean you did order the four stage Aquasafe one?

Thats the one I have now and the one I used to use was only four stage and I never had problems in the past. I agree it may have to do with BC water being so good to begin with.

EDIT: I guess mine is 5 stage...
