Coralife Pure-Flo II RO Units

so i was wondering if anyone uses this system ....if so can you give me some input. por favor!!

 

go to ebay and get yourself one for about 110-130 bucks. Screw ro, really look for a ro/di system and you wont be unhappy. Trust me ive had mine now coming up to a year with no leaks and produces about 75 gpd.

 

so you use the coralife unit?

 

no, but to me and from what I read, name brand units are the same as the off brand name units. I really wouldnt pay the extra for this from what I just found and would seriously consider the ebay stuff for it.

 

my friend has one ...stay away they r bad news....one of the inlet compression fittings blew off and flooded the basement. it also did not produce near the 50gpd it was supposed to. but i suspect she had low water pressure either way i hated the unit...like stated above go ebay thats what i use

 

i have one and am pleased with it. caught on sale at foster n smith for like $105. that being said i would still consider the ones on ebay. some of them come with a holding tank and everything. basically most membranes are the same and that's what makes the filter anyway.

 

yea I got one ebay and all the membranes are the same as corallife one and it works just fine....its a 6 stage unit and putting out 0ppm

 

Coralife units are very low quality, lots of complaints of leaks, poor performance, short life etc.
I would also stay away from ebay. There are a ton of low quality units on ebay using Chines knock off components that just plain don't work well. Stick with a known vendor like Spectrapure, Air Water & Ice, PurelyH2o etc.
In fact Spectrapure is having a sale even the ebay vendors can't touch and better yet they are a sponsor of this forum which helps keep it afloat for all of us.

Ive been consistently dissapointed with the coralife products ive bought

 

I have what's left of one, I replaced a whole bunch of the parts because I hated them. Overall I felt like it was a cheap product and overpriced and would have been much happier buying one from bulkreefsupply or filterguys etc that uses standard high quality fittings/parts. Also 50gpd is pretty weak when you can get a 75gpd unit for the same or cheaper.
