An RO/DI unit seems a little expensive speaking that I am on well water and don't have to worry about chlorine. Is there any way I could make my own RODI as a cheaper alternative? Tanks!
Considering the cost of fish and corals, do you really want to save $100-200 on a RO-DI unit? You can get a very nice 5 stage, 75 gpd unit for less than $200 and a dual membrane unit for less than $300. Being on a well, you should be more concerned, not less concerned about water quality (other than chlorine/chloramine), unless you are having the water quality regularly evaluated as the water utilities do. I would go for a high quality RO-DI system that produces the amount of water you need and also consider a whole house carbon filter to ensure that your water supply is free of the chemical contaminants.

If you have whole house RO then all you'd need is the di portion of the unit. Just tie it in to a cold water line somewhere.The well water we are on is completely filtered and it has to be since one of my household members has extreme sensitivity to water contaminants. That's why I wasn't too concerned with my water. We just had the water evaluated a few days ago and it came up almost completely pure. There was a slight peak in iron but that was it. I will most likely be getting an RODI unit anyways just to help the little fishies out[emoji4]

My house has a softener system (utilizes salt) with iron removal cylinder. My RODI unit is tied in after the softener system and still get tds readings of 197 before input into the unit. Did they check tds? If so, what was it?
Do you have whole house reverse osmosis or a softener system like I have? If there is any TDS reading whatsoever then you need an Rodi unit.I'm honestly not sure if they checked tds or not. I wasn't home and I don't have the report with me. I can always find out. [emoji16]
