    Default Pure Flows?

    Does anyone us a Pure Flow RO/DI system? Are they any good? Or should I buy on used and get a good membrane?
    One last question, Is just an Ro system ok? Or is the DI part absolutely nessisary? I want some clams and a few sps so I want to make sure my waters good. Also feel free to reccomend any other brand you think is good thats 100-150$ and it doesent have to output more than 25gpd.

    Has anyone had luck with using only conditioners? Im not sure about the overall water quality in the austin area. How long does an Ro membrane last you?

    Buy new, and buy RO/DI. The water in ATX is not good from what everyone says. Personally, I think the fountain sodas taste terrible there due to how the water tastes.

    I have a buckeye, and it works great.

    Ok thanks, its only like an extra 40$ anyway to get a 4 stage RO/Di so i was thinking that 40$ extra is worth it when I'll have like 1000$+ on the line.

    The water in Central TX is hard which cause a RO membrane to quickly foul. A water softner is recommended prior to going to the filter.
