I'm using Elo's test kit for phos, calcium and alk. Has anyone had success with tap water and Brita in a reef. Im going to buy the vertex puratek from j and l and hope my luck changes.

I would say that you will have a very hard time keeping sps without RODI. Do you have a way to test the TDS of your tap water?
The Vertex Puratek is great (with the booster pump it makes water really fast and with less waste) I'd say it's one of the most important pieces of equipment you can have.
