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.

I know that redcoral has devoleped their own custom branded ro/di and are selling them now in calgary, give those guys a call and im sure its a good product and reasonably priced.

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...

this is the one i ordered it says set of 4 pre and post filters...........4 stage ?yet it has 5 canisters? i dunno

If you're ordering from the USA, there's another supplier that a chap on another board swears by, the Premium Series 75 gpd by Buckeye Field Supply. No personal experience but this guy says it's the best bang for your buck (pun intended) for value with some essential extras which others charge more for.

But I do know a bunch of people using them and are very happy.
