AquaticLife RO system

[Sobo's Reef]

Does anyone own one of these RO systems? If so, do you like it? Does it produce 0TDS water?? I've heard good things about it from my LFS mainly bc of the price which at my store is $120 but on amazon it's only $85 so that's why I'm considering buying it. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

If it's RO only, you will not get to zero TDS with this unit. I'd highly suggest THIS refurbished unit from Spectrapure that come with the DI portion. They call it refurbished, but it's all new filters....great deal.

It's the cartriges that make the difference in a RO/DI unit. You can always replace them in any unit with better cartriges

They give the option for the full 4 stage system with DI which like I said is only $85 on amazon. Sounds like the DI resin that comes with it doesn't last too long but that could just be the quality of people's water. I used to have the BRS RODI 4 stage system and I loved it but then I remembered that it was almost $200. I'm wondering if when the resin from the aquatic life system is depleted if you could use the BRS resin to refill it.

If this is the unit:

It doesn't take conventional replacement filters. You'll need to purchase replacements specific for Aquaticlife. I can't tell about DI resin....it does look like it might have a screw top on that cartridge. My preference is to purchase a unit that takes conventional replacement filters.

I have this unit, the Di cartridge can be open up and refilled with any resign, the other ones do need the aquaticlife ones

How many gallons would you say you get before having to swap out the DI resin?
