Best Budget friendly RO/DI unit?

Great choice. Mine works awesome. I did add dual in/out TDS meter and auto on off solinoid with float kit from Amazon.

I picked up an in line tds meter on close out for $15 with it.

Yeah I forgot they had those nice I line ones. I love coralvue outlet. I get such amazing deals on there.

I have the AquaticLife 75gpd unit (although Im making around 5gal/hr @75psi)... Sweet inexpensive set up and comes with everything you need including float valve with shut off solenoid. Check it out in my build thread if interested.

My unit arrived and it had a broken fitting on the DI chamber output and was missing an O-ring. I contacted Coralvue and they have parts on the way. In the mean time I snagged a fitting off of an old unit I had went ahead and got it up and running. Even without the second O-ring on one the RO stages it is leak free and puts out 5 gallons in about 25 minutes, 0 tds. I’m a happy camper. Thank you everybody for your help and suggestions. Especially you @cdnco2004 , that was a killer buy on this unit. Thank you!

Can you please share a link to the TDS meter and auto on-off? Also is it possible to change DI media with this system?

One more question, does the open box come with all the fittings and plumbing?

Mine did but one of the elbows was broken and it was missing an o ring. Customer service replaced the missing and damaged pieces very fast.
