Hi , Thanks for the question . We think of the Mighty Mite
as a portable unit or one for the apartment renter.
The Compact now has a fast flush valve and it comes with the hand held TDS meter . The filters are much larger and are actually much cheaper per gallon of capacity than our the Mighty Mite filters.
Funny thing is the Compact has become one of our best sellers since we put clear filter housings on it .

Just a note to reefers !
There is a new rush to use Catalytic carbon filters in systems with only two pre-filter stages. Which is OK , the only problem I see with this new practice is that the GAC filter should not be in the last pre-filter stage . Carbon fines fromthe GAC filter may foul the user's membrane. The GAC filter ought to be the first filter followed up by at least a (5) micron filter.
