    i got the sixth stage set up however, it seem that the five stage set up would work more better, dont know, but i am thinking of switching out the 2 extra stages and go w 1 housing instead wat ya think?

    I have the 6 stage unit...but I have it backwards at the end....the 6th stage on the graphic is 5th on my unit....so my tap water goes through the initial 3 carbon cartridges, then the RO membrane, then the 6th stage from the graphic and finally throug the DI resin housing....I don't drink the water, so I don't need to have an separate RO and DI out line like in the graphic. If you don't drink the water, IMO the six stage unit is easier. But now you have an idea and you can use whatever's more confortable for you.

    Not clear enough, but here it goes....notice I have the inline DI housing in a vertical position, that way the used resin beads will float to the top and I can tell how much I have left by the colour difference. Hope this helps mate.
