    Mark on Melevsreef.com sells one at a reasonable price. That is probably where I am going to get mine when it is time. I believe it is $170 plus shipping.

    another sponser, airwaterice.com, is where i got mine, the mighty mite. It was only $100, and has a full sized DI filter too. It produces 50gpd. I love it

    Um I would say Sue i'd rather see ya purchase and RO/DI unit that have "clear canisters" rather than the solid white you see in some sdvertisments.

    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.

    I've looked at the premium series here, it's a 4 stage for $177. That look's interesting.

    That's pretty much what I'm setting up this weekend.
    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. :)
