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.

For the price I think the vertex is not bad considering your getting the TDS monitor, back flush feature and a pressure pump (most often are cost extra add-ons).

You can't really compare it to a $90 RO only unit because with the pressure pump your going to get more production from that unit.

I have an Aqua Safe unit and I like it but I think they have gone out of business.

Cheers,
Vic

I thought J&L had free shipping on dry goods orders over $100. Check the shipping policies.

Another option is to make your own DI unit and learn to recharge the resins. Not hard to recharge but you should know that the chemicals used to do the recharge need to be handled with great care.
