Reason being you'll be able to see the filter cartridges and how dirty they can get , some times they dont last as long as you would hope and the amount of use you use them.
But most people forget its not the plastic that or the name of the RO/DI company.
It's the actual filter/s that do the real job. | |

And make sure you order it with the color changing DI resin, and see if Russ can set you up with the 2 micron carbon block, not the chlorine guzzler with 0.6 micron. The 75 gpd is $169 BFS-161.  | |
