What is the best RO system to get for your home

J

I have a coral life RO unit now . Works good but very slow. Makes 5 gallons of water in 9 hours. This takes forever. It's is on to keep up. Is there a unit that make water faster ?
Your help is appreciated
Thanks
Jenn

Yes there is. They make units that can make 300 GPD (Gallons Per Day of RO/DI). The unit that some of us use around here is the Typhoon III from Air Water Ice. You can get 75, 100, 200, 300 GPD units. The club does group buys with them.

What is the round about $$$ cost of Typhoon III from Air Water Ice.
Say price on 100 GPD units.

That unit would be awesome!

Is the unit very large ?

How do I get involved in the group buy ?

Is there such a RO system that would be for the whole house and run though all your fixtures, that would be the easiest : )

in my opinion (and I am not an expert or used RODI extensively till now) the typhoon 3 is bulky. I just went to measure it - it's 21" wide, 6" front to back, and 15" tall.

That stated, it's not like you have to lug the thing out everytime you want water. Just use the tubes provided and hook it up direct from either your sink or the cold water pipe. I'm not a fan of piercing pipes so I also purchased an adjuster that goes on the sink. Mind you this is my laundry room sink - so it's not the typical fancy faucet.

the 75 gpd or 100 gpd is the same price. I never checked the other sizes because supposedly as you go higher the membrane rejection rate drops slightly. I dunno - like I said I'm no expert. I just got a 75 gpd and it works beautifully.

Hi Hawkeye ,

Thanks for the measurement

That size is not to bad, sounds a bit longer then the one i have now

I fit mine underneath the laundry sink with a shut off valve to turn in on and off

100 gph would be so much better then what I have now,

How many gallons do you get to make before cartridge needs changing

Jenn

I was thinking

If it makes 100gpd

How many 100 gallons can be made before all cartriges are bad

approximatly

how long does it last you , what life do you get out of it

hands down... SpectraPure's MaxCap system (~90gpd). I can make a gallon of water in 14 minutes at 50 psi inbound. Max Cap DI cartridges are good for about 1200 gallons while a typical resin cartridge is good for 300-400 gallons

Ok ,

Now I have two good RO units to choose from

SpectraPure's MaxCap system (~90gpd). vs

Typhoon III from Air Water Ice ( 100 gph )

Both make water fast

$ similar ?

Sound like you get you moneys worth on Max Cap DI cartridges

What about the Typhoon III from Air Water Ice ?

How long will there cartridges last...

Anyone know ?

You can also modify your current unit by replacing the current membrane and flow restrictor with ones rated for higher gallons per day. IIRC 75gpd has the highest rejection rate/GPD.
