!!! New RODI system - need your HELP !!!

Hi,

I just moved 9 months ago to Greensboro, North Carolina from Orlando, Florida. In Orlando I had a 65 gallon reef , but had to break it down because of the move .
Whithin the next 6 months to a year I plan to build a 180 gallons reef tank. However I couldn't stand it any more to be in a house with out a reef. So for the mean time, I decided to put together a 24 gallons nano cube, and when I fix my 180 gallon tank, then I will use the nano cube as a quarantine tank.

In my old system, I used a SPECTRAPURE MPDI - 25 (http://www.spectrapure.com/St_osmo_p1.htm). My local vendor assure me that was the best of the best ( and I believe that SPECTRAPURE is probably the best company out there). However, what i did not like about that RODI system was that it did not had a Pressure and TDS meter, the throughput was very slow, and although I was changing the filters regularly, my portable TDS meter was reading "5".

I am thinking on investing on another RODI system that has a Pressure gage and TDS meter. A system that I can use for my 24 gallon system, and later on my 180 gallons system. Now in Greensboro, most of the houses including mine have a private well water . So I will test the water before I make my decision (water tested ok when we moved in the house).

I've just started researching the subject, and I read a lot of good words about the AIR, WATER, & ICE - TYPHOON III system (http://airwaterice.com/product/1TYPHOONIII).

Can you please give me some advice, suggestions, experiences on what RODI system to buy ???

PLEASE ANSWER MY POST.

Thanks,

Yiorgo

Looks like you already have the answer. I have the Typhoon III and love it. I have minehooked up to a 44 gallon brute trashcan with an automatic float shutoff andwater making could not be easier. The Typhoon III came with everything I needed to get started and the customer service/support is great if you have any questions. The float was an additional $14.00 I think.

Ditto. Except mine is hooked up to a 50g Brute trashcan and the float valve is free if you mention that you are a RC member. Typhoon 3 all the way. Its been making 0 TDS water since the first day.
