To be honest I don't know how to ot have time to install a unit. Besides not sure how much money you really are saving vs getting Ro/Di from lfs since you have to change filters every so often.

So I can get Ro/Di from lfs for $0.60 per gallon.

All you guys think the filtered water ( ones usually located next to markets that cost $0.25 per gal) are no good?

What about distilled water?

Sorry for all the questions. I really want to justify buying ro/Di unit before I buy it.:)

Ok just looked at the BRS website and I am impressed!!!!!!!!!!! Can you really just hook up the faucet and get ro/di water????????? Please watch instruction video and tell me I'm not dreaming!

I will purchase this weekend. I can start by using the easy faucet hook up and eventually go to the permanent install.

When did lfs or the machine at the market last change their filters (this water is much inferior to an ro/di unit) ?

Are you going to change 5 gallons a week? If so even at 60 cents that is $170 with tax & if you drive to get it or any water... what cost do you associate with that at the price of gas? I bet the pay back is 6 months or less...

Plus the fact that once you stop visiting the lfs every week, you will save countless $$$ in other things you just picked up because you were there.

Install & hook up is 5 mins... in the thread I posted.

and saving your back... is also nice :)

ok so I was about to buy the ro/di unit from bulkreefsupply.com, but read something that scarred me. It says my faucet pressure has to be at least 50psi to work correctly, anything lower will reduce the results. I have no idea what my psi is? I will be using bathroom faucet.

How do increase flow? By adding another pump? What's the point of the Rsm if stock won't work? And what's gfo?

GFO is Granular Ferric Oxide and it is a phosphate remover. From the Bulk Reef Supply website:

The purpose of granular ferric oxide is to inhibit algae growth by removing phosphates from the aquarium. Maintaining low phosphate levels will help prevent algae outbreaks and control growth. Serious algae outbreak is one of the most common reasons for complete tank shutdown. GFO is an essential tool and should be part of regular tank maintenance
