Great Product for bad city water By Joshua on 7/25/12
Joshua would recommend this product to a friend
Living in the large metropolitan city of Houston, our city water was chalk-full of TDS, as well as lead, copper, arsenic, flouride, etc. The unit was quickly producing pure water after an hour of initial flushing.
I moved to Oxford, MS shortly thereafter where they only use chlorine to treat the local water supply, and we also have nearly 90 psi of water pressure here, compared to Houston's 55 psi. My only recommendation is to pick up a booster pump to get as close to 90 psi as possible. Waste water is cut down significantly, and pure water is produced much, much faster! I plan on picking one up when I eventually return to Houston.

I shopped around quite a bit before finally choosing this. Glad I did and I'm extremely happy with my choice. Easy installation which was a huge positve since my plumbing skills are next to none.

Huge time saver By David on 5/28/12

Many RO/DI systems exist out there and all probably function about the same with minor differences. The reason I chose this unit is because it is well supported by brs, it's designed for reef setups, and getting new filters is super simple. Would recommend.

Awesome Buy By moore1811 on 5/11/12

First off, I'd like to say that I'll now be coming to BRS for all my saltwater needs. I ordered the product Wednesday and received everything well packaged that Friday, I can't say the same about Marine Depot. Install was a snap, an elbow needed tightening, which cured the tiny leak. I rinsed the RO and DI systems thoroughly and pre-DI I had a reading of ~3 and post DI I had 0 TDS across the board. In review I couldn't be happier and I suggest this system and supplier to all!

This is a great piece for ANYONE, with or without an aquarium! I'm filling up a jug for drinking water as I write this.
There are three things to keep in mind:
One: ALWAYS SET A TIMER!! You don't want to flood anything!
Two: Flush your RO membrane a minute or two before and after each use.
Three: Add a float valve to your order so you're not "up a creek" if you forget the timer! (Mine is in the mail as we speak)
Make that four things.
Four: Check with your local water authority to see if you have chloramines first. I did. I'm glad I called.
Now, order away. You'll save a LOT of money.

BRS had the unit all setup. I connected the unit to the hose style connection. It took 10 min to put the unit onto the wall and to the hose bid. I love this Unit, Thank you BRS

DON'T WAIT... GET ONE ! By Darrin on 3/8/12
Darrin would recommend this product to a friend
After purchasing my 75 GPD RO/DI 5 Stage Chloramines Plus System, I could not be happier... I was able to stop relying on obtaining water from outside sources and with the great product that BRS stands behind, great customer service and education, I couldn't be more satisfied and knowing the filter replacement media is affordable. Thanks BRS !!!

Great product, great price By Luke on 2/12/12

I received this unit back in November for my birthday and have loved it. It works well, taking my 330 tds down to under 30 for the DI and 0 after. My only thought is that I have it on a constant auto top off system directly to my tank, so it eats the DI very quickly since the membrane has quite a bit of time to equalize between times it turns on. It wouldn't be a problem if I filled a bucket and used a top off pump. Fortunately, BRS has cheap DI resin, so I can get some more. Wonderful experience and a beautiful product.

Great Product! By ange062 on 1/19/12

Houston is notorious for having awful TDS from the tap (~300) as well as using chloramines for water treatment. This BRS system was not only the best value but also offered the best features and filtration available. The RO unit takes the water from 300TDS tap to 10TDS output. The DI resin then drops it to 0TDS as expected, and all at a nice flow rate even with the low water pressure I have in my house.
All the features and included goodies are also great. I like the RO membrane flush system, the carbon block bypass for flushing new carbon, and all of the included hookup options are great.
I've been using this for both of my reef tanks as well as drinking water and have at least several hundred gallons through it now with not a single complaint.

picked up this unit due to being in san Diego and you need to deal with chlorimine when doing ro/Di. received the unit and it was so easy that spent more time deciding where to place it then the time it took to set it up. and 20 minutes after starting ti set it up had water flowing. doing the clean out and 15 minutes after that was making great 0 tds water
