Choice between Bulk Reef Supply RO/DI, Spectrapure RO/DI, or Buckeye Hydro

So you are one of the lucky ones still getting great Edwards Aquifer water? It is super hard because of all the limestone and calcium. Bad on water heaters but good to drink. Hobogoto actually ran his tank using Edwards water unfiltered. I would of not but he did.

Hey there,

The hard water is not the problem for me. It's the amount of chlorines and chloramines that they use. Phosphates go up a lot too. I use green valley in Marion, Tx. So whoever they use is what I have at home.

I believe there original well was close to garden ridge in the Edward Aquifer and then pumped all the way down to homes in southeast Bexar and Guadalupe counties. But in time and with so many moving in they get most of there water from canyon regional.

I love the area, but the water reports are horrible. I think my biggest expense was a culling ham softener and whole water filter. I'll let you know how everything goes once I install it. I have a ppm meter before, and after the water is filtered.

Im down to these three for a Ro/DI filter, and need some help.

Pros and Cons with experience and quality of equipment would be great.

Also. How often do you change filters.

Looking into the Chloramine Models.

Thanks Guys

Ive had all three of those. Currently i have spectra and buckeye going with a booster pump. Average about 1 gallon every 4 minutes. My choice is the high end model of spectra pending your budget. Max cap 5 with auto flush. The auto flush system has paid for itsself over and over. I use to replace media every 1-2 months. Now maybe once a year. I change when my output tds is 10-15. My tap water tds is 450 and enough chlorine to smell it.

This is the one I ended up going with
I was told it was probably the best one for my water quality.
