I’m about to fire up and build my tank - that said. What’s the best but cost effective ro/di system like I look at brs and it’s $100 more than others. What do you guys use?

All comes down to the number of stages and filter elements. I would get whatever works for your space and takes the standard 10” elements.

What would you recommend? I have a basement. There will be plenty of space for the system. I have city water.

Do you know:
1. How much water pressure you have (PSI)
2. What is the starting TDS of city water
3. Does your city use chlorine or chloramine

Figure out at the least 1 and 3 before moving forward.

And 62 PSI was the reading last year in my town. Location unknown in my town but it’s two square miles.
