not sure if it’s any good but it’s compact and cheap! Let me know what y’all think or if u have suggestions

I wouldn’t get it. The replacement filters end up costing more in the long run and it’s typically slower compared to other rodi units. I don’t think there are any upgrade options, but others do.

Simple, basic, expandable system. Had mine for almost 3 years, no issues. Usually goes on sale Black Friday for $99. That’s when I got mine.

Was going to suggest the same rodi unit from above! That’s a 75gpd unit. You can choose to upgrade to 100gpd for $10 more. Wait until Black Friday for some great deals

That’s just way to big for my bathroom vanity. I’m going to have to rethink this whole thing out. Could I make the water outside and then just bring it in after a day or so? Even in the heat?

Clone. :)

Hey @Katrina71 any update on how the Miracle is coming along?

It'll be a Miracle if I can finish before Christmas. I'm trying.

Two clocks go out to dinner. After they finish eating, one clock says to his friend, “I’m still hungry!” His friend replies,
“So go back four seconds.”

No worries if you don’t get it done by then. Take your time and enjoy the hobby!

I can give you some pointers on how to draw it out even longer. :-)

You could do that, but I would cover the unit to keep the sunlight off of it to avoid algae growing inside of the canisters. Also remember that cold temps affect the efficiency of the RO membrane. On a small system, you could just buy your water from your LFS. Just be sure to keep a good backup supply on hand for emergencies.

Yeah I’m buying it from lfs now. It’s just a pain. I don’t plan on keeping it outside full time. Just let it run for the day and then bring it in

I have the RO Buddie. It works, but as someone said a standard system would probably be better. I don’t have any experience to compare it to. I did find out that when you buy replacements for it, they don’t send the ends so you have to take those off and reuse them. I didn’t know, and tossed my old ones out. Luckily they are sending me some fittings but the inconvenience is annoying.

I think a new be like fin and Josh may be in order.

 

[sfin52]

@JoshH I'm looking for the originals im not finding them. I think Heather perged them

Interesting observation. Apparently chaetomorpha doesn’t need much, if any, light to survive. The lights in this sump (Pirate’s Reef) went dark on August 28th. I just turned the sump light on for the first time on October 16th and the ball of chaeto is still dark green. 45 days with only a little ambient light from a window across the room. Strange.
