Difference between RODI premium and premium plus models?

[Leon Gorani]

what is the difference between these two RODI models from bulk reef supply? The “5 stage premium plus ro/di system” and the “5 stage premium ro/di system.” One of them is premium and costs 60 dollars more about. But the other is not plus and costs only 200$ but what is the difference between the two??? I want to get the cheaper version but I don’t know if I need the plus version.

The plus models have a digital TDS three-line meter, which basically shows you how your pure water is, and a membrane flush valve. To me, the latter makes it worth while; having the ability to flush the RO membranes allows for cleaner water, and will make the membranes last longer as well.

The product details on the BRS site note the difference:
PLUS RO/DI System Included Upgrades

• HM Digital Inline Dual TDS Meter - Instantly know the purity of your water, before and after the deionization stage. The inline probes come pre-installed and with the simple push of a button, your waters TDS is displayed on the LDC monitor.
• Glycerin Filled Pressure Gauge - Reverse Osmosis membranes require a particular amount of pressure to operate efficiently, and using a pressure gauge will help ensure your system is performing correctly. Pressure Gauges also work as a great indicator of when sediment or carbon blocks start to become clogged.
• Membrane Flush Valve - Keep your RODI system running like new by flushing the membrane for a few minutes before and after each use. Membrane flushing helps remove any built-up mineral deposits from your membrane, that could harm performance, or even cause a complete clog.

According to the product description the Plus version gets you a TDS meter, a pressure gauge, and a flush valve. All three are useful and probably worth the extra money.
