My experience tells me that all RODI system are the same (some brand name cost more but still do the same job). i think what matter most is the filter cartridges

For the most part I agree, the filter media is more important. Most systems have the same waste to usable water ratio.

If you're on a well you may need to add a booster pump. I believe they work best at 60 PSI.

I heard those booster pumps are worth while and that it lowers the amount of waste water produced.

All RODI units will make a bunch of waste water. Most units around :14 good:waste thoughtbere are a few that claim 1:2. You can also use the waste water for a variety of things though 88gala is alot to handle.

Check your sinks. Most standard sinks have a threaded connector you can connect to though some high end or designer faucets may not. A laundry lookup may also work.

What’s a booster pump

A small pump that increases the the water pressure. RODI essentially forces water through filter media which only works with high enough water pressure, typically 40psi+ is good and more if you want to use double RO membranes

I bought “Max Water” rodi 75gpd on Amazon. I’ve had it for like 5 years and never had a problem with it.

If you get a bulkreef rodi unit you can also add the water saver package which will reduce the waste water. You can use the waste water to fill your washer, to fill a bucket for your garden, top off a pool/pond. The options are not limited.

If you have a laundry room you can connect there too. I prefer that over pipe piercing or sink faucet connecting in the kitchen.

My 6 stage BRS water saver plus is 6 or 7 years old now, still runs perfectly. Fairly sure it's still close to a 1:2 ratio. I have a well, and use a booster pump, and run the system at 75>80 PSI which I believe is the BRS reccomend pressure

I bought mine at airwaterice.com years and years ago. I also bought a permeate pump from them.

I bought from an air water and ice as well. I upgraded with another membrane to a 200gpd with a booster pump. Summer water production is great, slows down a lot with cold water.

I think they all do. Once the temperature of the incoming water drops, RO\DI units do not produce as much clean water.
