RO 150-S vs RO 150SSS - What's the diff?

[Potatohead]

From what I can see they appear identical, same pump, same specs. I wonder if it's just a naming thing with USA using SSS and rest of world using -S?

I just went to LFS and grabbed one but I notice it's a 150-S and not 150SSS. Weird.

Any idea?

SSS = super space saver (pump inside the cone)

If you have the space , which one is better?

150-INT

No, they're both pump inside. The 150 INT is the one with the pump outside. I notice even BRS's site pictures say 150-S on the cup, but they call it the 150SSS. So I think it's just a naming/marketing thing.

I bought one on black Friday, it's killer so far.

The entire Reef Octopus line of skimmers are great! As suggested, my understanding is that the 150-S is the same as the 150SSS. If you have the space and the price is comparable I would choose the 150 INT.

I went with the classic 150-INT and it's a beast! Super quick break in and does a great job. If you have the space and it's capacity fits your system volume, I'd go that route.

just checked and wow $230 is a great price for the 150int
