they are basically all the same , i would pay more attention to which filters, like i use whatever cannisters i have 9 cannisters on my ro setup, i use spectrapure filters, maybe im biased but been using them 30 years. membranes the dow filmtech 75 have better rejection rates than 90 or 100 for sure. biggest thing is to have enough pressure to run it properly most people skimp out and dont get a booster pump, then wonder why then cant get more then a few gallons a day out of the units

Any reason why the brs system is almost double everything else?

No idea, once you have a ro/di you kinda never shop for them again.
they last forever, you just get new filters and membranes

i will say compared to old units the newer ones have plastic for teh top rails, my older units the brackets eventually rust out , not a huge deal but i bet these newer style plastic units last longer in that regard.

I was looking at the same units a couple months back.

I actually ended up going with this unit:

https://filterdirect.com/ar122-koolermax-6stage-aquarium-reef-reverse-osmosis-rodi-water-p-256.html
It runs great! The customer service is great and all my orders always ship out the same day and arrive next day with flat rate shipping. I think the replacement filters are $29 for stages 1-3 / $18 for 3 refills of resin / $50 for the membrane replacement I think.

The brs system you link is a 3:1 waste water ratio. The other system you link doesn't list waste water ratio at all. If you are on city water and pay for sewage, this might matter to you.

Brs also has water saver systems with ratios down to 1.5:1. That's what I sprung for recently.

I recently got a Liquagen 5 stage + Rodi saver:


Amazon product ASIN B01FNAPGPA
Amazon product ASIN B06WGL8SFV
I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had installed the RO saver kit for me. Ro ratio was 1:3 waste but with RO saver it’s 1:1.5 (same as BRS). Additionally it can now do 150 gpd as opposed to the original 75g

All in all it’s basically the same thing as the competing 150gpd 5 stage BRS + RO Saver unit for less.

I was also looking into adding the BRS 3 stage DI extension, which looks like a really good deal. The Liquagen + RO Saver + 3 Stage DI would come out to about the same as the BRS but with 2 less full sized DI stages. The only other thing is buying DI Resin but buying in bulk would be another money saver long run too.

I hooked it up to the water hose outside, opened the flush valve for 30 minutes, closed, and started collecting water. 0 tds instantly.

Is it still working for you? Any problems with it? Do you still recommend it?
