Looking into RO/DI systems, am I on the right track?

And if you can afford it, the 150 gpd water saver is worth it, especially if you're on a water meter. But it must have at least 65 psi or it won't work properly. If you don't have the 65 PSI you need to purchase the booster pump kit as well.

What was shipping like for you? Was it outragous?

I got shipping for free. I think once you spend $300+ they waive the shipping. Although I have everything shipped to my place in Montana and then bring it back across the boarder myself.

I order from BRS all the time. They're great.

Shipping is free only to US locations (like Montana). To Calgary, you are looking at $50 bucks most likely.

Hahaha sweet. I have a place in Whitefish. I'll just do that!

Yes! Shipping will be around 50.00 depending on what you are buying. You should jump on the group buy and save your self $10 on the RO/DI.

Oh nevermind I think you missed the group buy. Probably be another one next month.

I am in on the group buy already, now im just deciding what to get

I also live 30 mins from the US border and usually ship my online purchases to the border anyways, so I'll just do that again this time n get me some free shippin'

I am also looking at getting NP reducing biopellets/biopellet reactor and a pump.
While I'm at it, should I get one of the 2 cartridge reactors for some Carbon or GFO? I don't know a whole lot about carbon or GFO so im going to read up on it right after I post this, but I value anyones personal experiences if you wish to share them.

Edit: Okay just read up a little bit about GFO and Carbon.. By the sounds of it, the BRS dual reactor for GFO and Carbon sounds like a good idea, but does that mean I still have to buy a separate reactor for NP reducing biopellets? Or do you even need to run NP reducing biopellets with Carbon and GFO? Thanks in advance for opinions/experiences.
