Any fellow RSM Owners recommend this RO/DI unit?
- Thread starter LAKERSFREAK
- Start date
I have this one. PR-RODI100 Premium Aquatics - PR-RODI100 Aquarium Supplies
If at the time I bought mine the BRS would have been available at that price I would have went with it. It looks to be a good system, the most important part is to have all the stages and TDS meter, as the filtration is all standard sizes so if you do not like something you can order something different.

I bought the 5 Stage Plus from Bulk Reef Supply and I love it! I can't believe how easy it was! And I got it when it was on sale for $165 so all is good!
No more visits to the LFS for water!~

Acanman how often do you change filter? I make about 10 gal a week.
Also I don't have the permanent set up so evertime I use it I just hook it up to my bar sink. When I'm done and pit the unit away I get water dripping out of black tube. The blue doesn't drip and I have the valve connected to the red one. Do you have this problem? What do you recommend?

I have it permanently connected and mounted above laundry sink. The included TDI and pressure monitors are still reading zero and above 70 respectively and the color is still white in the cannisters so no change of filters yet. I avg 10-15 gal per week.
The black tube puts put the dirty water. I snake that tube into drain as far as it can go. You could connect a simple valve to the end of black tube and turn it off. It will work like a cap.

It doesn't matter which tank you have, it's a great system, and a good buy. You should do a group buy to order with a bunch of others. They will ship each order direct to each person. In addition, you will be made a preferred customer and get the lowest price listed for any item on their website.
Stay tuned for the 40b!

I bought the four stage a few weeks ago. I tested my water going into the unit and it is about 235 tds, coming out of the ro unit it is 4 tds and then coming out of the di unit it is zero. The only thing I have noticed its the di resin is changing color faster then I would have expected. I have only made about 60 gallons of water and two inches of resin has already turned brown.
Is that normal for the amount of usage?

I do weekly water changes and make about 20 gallons of RO/DI water each week. In the eight or so months that I've been using it I have changed the resin twice. The resin will change color but all you have to be concerned with is that the reading continues to read 0.00 on the output.
Happy Reefing !

Ok, so I just change it out once the TDS reading changes not necessarily the color of the resin. Sorry about the spelling, my smart phone likes to change my words
