Hi,
After some of my recents post I have been thinking long and hard about an RO Unit, and the benefits that it will give to my soon to be set up. I think if I start with tap water, I am going to want to make the move sooner or later so it might as well be right from the start.
I live in Lowestoft, Suffolk so we have very hard water here, and I have been reading that units have to work overtime in hard water areas and are prone to blockages and poor performance. My system will be approx 160 litres im guessing after displacement, so I a going to need something that will produce 80 litres or so for the 50% weekly water change.
There does not seem to be much difference in price between a 100 and 200 gpd unit, and I understand that the bigger the unit the less waste it will produce. There are also a multitude of different stage filters, and it seems that 3 stage without DI resin makes Life simpler and that the DI resin does not last long in hard water areas. I can see the benefits of using a pump version.
Can anyone recommend a fairly decent unit, that wont kill the already over spent budget, but is also not going to cut corners on the job that it needs to perform. I am seeing them advertised from as little as £50 on bay of e, and right up to £450.
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Paul
