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

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

    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.

    Pressure gauge after the prefilters and before the membrane
    Thermometer
    DI bypass
    Vertical DI stage
    Refillable DI cartridge
    Aluminum bracket
    Quick connect fittings
    Flush valve

    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.
