Sam's club RO water filter??

[texmex]

I was at sam's club yesterday and saw these ro units there is there any reason that these would not work for my mix? Any thoughts on this? Thanks

[Bill S]

Yes. Lots of reasons why they won't work. They are for drinking water.

Try Russ at buckeye. www.buckeyefieldsupply.com (http://www.buckeyefieldsupply.com) You will absolutely regret the purchase of a cheapo or fleabay unit.

So what is the difference between the di and the regular ro?????

The Sams units and most household units like them, dont typicly have the ability to bring organics, or TDS, (total dissolved solids) to zero which is where you want it for reef use for many reasons, algae being probably one of the best. Anyway, do a little research and decide for yourself.

Call Sam's Club and ask them some questions about how to set it up, or any other question about it, then call BuckeyeFieldSupply and ask questions. Compare the responses and you'll see why you don't want the Sam's Club filter.
