Re: [APD] R/O Unit



Another vote for Aquasafe Canada!

I have their 100gpd 6 stage unit, but the DI resin wore out long ago, and 
the quality is great just out of the membrane.

Get their TDS meter bundled with your order - its a great tool for keeping 
tabs on your water quality ... you can also use it to shock people that 
think paying $3+ for 1g of fancy bottled water is 'great deal' by showing 
them how dirty their expensive water is ;)

Just a testament to the units effectiveness... when I lived 'in the city' my 
water was 550-600 tds and output from the RO unit was around 15-20, output 
from the DI resin was 0-2.

Now that i've moved outside the city and have a private well, input TDS of 
about 280, output TDS of 0 without the DI resin.

My well is a low-pressure system (old tank and pump), so I did spend some 
extra on an upgrade to the ro unit ... a 100PSI booster pump rated at 100gpd 
with an automatic control.
