The old aquasafe RO units were great but the new ones I would stay away from. Ive had mine 8 months and had nothing but problems. Ive had my unit switched out a few times and the same thing everytime. I even had a rep come to my house to help me set it up and had the same resaults. I ended up keeping the unit at a discount and plan on up grading when I can. aquasafe said there was a problem with their manufacturing in china that had to do with their problem.

My aqua safe (~2 1/2 years old) has been great. I added a generic DI chamber to it and get consistent low TDS. I haven't changed the resin/cartridges once and I'm still getting <5 TDS from the unit. I will be ordering some new cartridges from OA though. I was also looking at aquafx's units, as they have one that has a 1/1 waste water ratio (the octopus)!
