LukiBunny Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Whats a good brand that would last me a while between filters? I'm sick of buying distilled water, lol I only use about 2 gallons a week, but would rather that i can make it myself. any suggestions?

Naked Aquarist Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I bought this. Waiting for it to come in. http://www.aquasafecanada.com/products/aquarium-ii-rodi-system.html Comments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christinenha Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I just bought this, got it in last week, and immediately started to use it. After flushing 5 gallons to clean the insides, the TDS was coming out at 0 for my RODI water. My tap water isn't that hard, though. It's at about 100 TDS without filtering. http://www.purewaterclub.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=95&products_id=544 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julianzh Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Everyone using those fancy system while me only use zerowater filter system. If you only use two gallon per week, take a look at zerowater. No waste water and I only change the filter once a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 What is your tap TDS, julian? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadenlea Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 so after what jullian said I googled zero water. I remember seeing a tv commercial about it too. If it works, the neat thing is is that they carry it at Kohls. Any other Kohls addicts besides me? You can often get stuff close to nothing if you play your discounts right. hehe Sale + 30% off coupons + Kohls cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 The reason I asked about TDS is this: "Q. How long will the filters last?A. Though we are lab-certified for 15 gallons per filter under the strictest conditions, our customers with tap water near 200 TDS tell us that one filter will treat about 30 gallons of water..." (found on zerowater site) So, Tap with 400 TDS will run 15 gallons, etc. Filters are about $38 for a 2 pk from Kohls. http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-897400/zerowater-2-pk-replacement-filters.jsp IMO, once you pay for a 23 cup Zerowater, and 2 filters, you could have bought an RO unit.

julianzh Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 What is your tap TDS, julian? range from 40 to 100. the water came out at 0 tds. i bought my zerowater fews years ago and im still on my 2nd filter. i know tds will effecting how long the filter last, but seeing no waste water worth every penny for me. beside, my house water pressure is on the low side, i also need a booster pump if i setup a ro unit.

Soothing Shrimp Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 I hear ya on the booster pump. My tap is low pressure as well, but high on TDS. So I do get some TDS in my RO and it takes a long time to fill, but as I don't wish to fork out $$$ for the booster, that's fine with me.

Ron Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Vertex Puratek Deluxe 100GPD http://www.vertexaquaristik.com/Products/WaterPurificationSystems/RODISystems/DeluxePuratek100RODI.aspx Includes booster pump, TDS meter and auto membrane flush. A little pricey but well worth it IMO, I have 2 units running. They were available for $200 CDN on an online store here in Canada during boxing sales, I almost bought a third and kind of regret that I didn't now.
