ok, i need to know that this is a good unit, i want to have the best water i can.
One of the nice things about RO/DI units is that they are all use more or less the same components, plus a few bells and whistles. You can buy a base unit, and add on to it if you need to.
Many get a basic RO unit, and add the DI unit if they still have a problem.
As for the Kent maxxima hi-s, it may be an excellent choice if your water is high in silica. This is one item that most RO units don't remove very well, compared to nitrates and phosphates. However, the others are correct. This is an expensive unit, and the less expensive units are almost as good. If you find you really do need the silica removal, you can purchase a Hi-S membrane filter for about $90, and a Hi-S DI filter for about $35.

mine is working fine for last 3 years... i bought 2 others for my customers over 2 years ago and it's performing well, my readings are about 16 -18 ppm but it's time to replace membrane and filters... new was 0 ppm. i'm happy with it.......ohhh by the way...seller offers other set ups.....some with press. tanks and some with UV light..... UV is my next upgrade to my system.

I have a spectra pure that I use for top off and drinking water. I don't use the DI part. Don't buy that metal holding tank if your use is just for fish, as it really doesnt hold much water to begin with. Its more for an under-the-sink thing for drinking water. Use a garbage pail as suggested with a float switch.
Keep in mind that there are different types of membranes. One type for chlorine and another type for fresh, and they come rated in different gallons per hour. The membranes are expensive and need to be regularly replaced, depending on how much you use it.
