For salt or fresh?

For salt or fresh?

One would presume saltwater

You want to aim for something around 100gpd, 4 or 5 stage, with DI preferably...

I just recently got an RO/DI unit from these guys, it works great, came with a warranty and was reasonably priced, I would recomend them to anyone

I recently ordered one of these dual inline tds meters:

I will have one meter hooked to the raw water and the other hooked to the final output. This will hopefully give me an idea of my units performance and a heads up on when to swap out the membrane..

Suggestion: Because your membrane will be destroyed by chlorine and your carbon block gets used up, it would be far more useful for you to put one in the line to the RO membrane and NOT in the supply line as you really don't care about your supply - you care about not letting any chlorine get to your membrane.

Monitor the system output to protect your tank and note the DI canister functionality, and the other monitors your carbon filter functionality protecting and showing when to change the carbon/prefilters.
