Coralife RODI Unit

adam · 01-14-2009, 01:47 PM

I currently buy purified water at the store for my 46 gallon. I have a credit at pet smart and they have a coralife Pure-FloII 50GPD RO system. It does not have the DI 3rd canister. It would be pretty cheap for me to get this but my question is do I have to attach something to my current kitchen faucet? I have a pull out Moen Faucet. I really do not know much about the installation of these units. Does anyone else have this Coralife Unit? Coralife does not the best quality in general.

Well, generally there are two ways to attach it. Have a faucet adapter, what I use, or have a saddle that pierces the feed line to the faucet. Both are easy to use, the second one is much more permanent than the first, I have my faucet adapter on a utility sink. Besides this, I can't really help.

this must be a PA thread, i must live really close to you adamfajge i have seen the unit you are talking about i was almost going to buy it until tangster informed me about buckeyefieldsuppy.com they have better units far cheaper and far better then the coralife unit, i got a ro/di for $133 or some thing close to that my only regret is not ordering a inline TDS meter but the choice is up to you

as for me i soldered a hose facuet into my cold water line and mounted the unit under my tank as you can see here my waste water goes to my sump pump

I think he wants to get it from Pet smart because he has a credit there. Another option is airwaterice.com incase you are interested.

I fully agree. Stuff that lasts will give you less aggrevation and will save you money in the long run
