Kitchen Faucet Filtration system

I was at the store yesterday and was wondering if This Kitchen Faucet Filtration system would filter my tap water enough until I can get a RODI system at the very least an RO system? Here is the info on it.

My LFS went under and I don't have a close place to get RODI water anymore. I was also doing some reading on the API tap water Filter also. I guess at the very least I can buy the water at the supermarket for .30 cents a gal.




I have a mixed reef if this helps

 

The system will remove chlorine and other contaminants pretty well but will not remove minerals like an RODI unit.

 

ok thanks for your input!

 

The API tapwater filter is a deionization (DI) cartridge.It produces good quality water but can be exausted quickly if your tap water is high in tds and replacement cartridges are not cheap.This makes it a not very practical option unless you use very little water.

Borrow some money and save your 40 bucks.
I would probably just use prime until I could afford the rodi.Depending on the quality of your water.
