Heck yeah they are almost as good as AquaFX. The guy who started that company copied EVERYTHING AquaFX did. The guy used to sell tires. AquaFX has engineers. A tire salesman has to be a good salesman. Do you know what kind of membrane they are using in their units?Are you telling me that AquaFX spends money on purification (or whatever they are called) engineers to design their system? Are they designing their own RO membrane? Their own carbon filter? These things are all assembled from off-the-shelf parts. The only difference between the units in the quality of the RO membranes or filters, brackets (as you mentioned), etc.. And, unlike most things in this hobby, it is easily measurable -- 0 TDS is 0 TDS, no matter where it comes from. And it doesn't matter to me that the company was started by a tire salesman. The skills required to start a company are typically not the same as the skills required to design a product.
However, I am all for supporting MAAST sponsors. I'm sure the AquaFX unit is great. I bought mine from aquaticreefsystems before MAAST existed. The in-line TDS meter they have is really great. I didn't even know those existed. I'm going to have to get one for my system.
