Reverse Osmosis vs. Inline Filter Discussion

[MVP]

Bulster or piggy, can someone give me a recommendation on a brand to buy? I need to generate 10gal/day of RO, probably less. I've seen systems on eBay for around $100 +/- or the Merlin system (way overkill for me) for about $400.00. Let me know what, in oyur experience, is a decent system as I want to buy quality once rather than cheap crap several times.

Thanks

I bought and enjoy the Watts system from Costco. $150 5-stage RO system.

most ro systems you'll find work just fine. Many of them use the same membranes which is where the magic happens.

The PPM of my tap water is around 350 or so and I still use it and have had great results so far. R/O water would suck IMO because you have to buy CalMag and other supplements. From what I have read, PPM under 500 is alright to use, but of course, the lower the better.

Anything over 300 and you are pushing it. I had pretty bad lock out this cycle and it the metals\chemmies in the water did not help at all.

Hey Razza.... I was trying to get a hold of you on your "humidity question" thread. I have the exact same issues with humidity.... Did you solve your problem? How did you do it?
I just got a very small dehumidifier that will fit inside my tiny grow but we'll see if it's got enough juice.
