Good Reverse Osmosis system for aquarium?

[El Scorpio]

So it looks like I'll be moving to Louisville, KY sometime next year, which is good because that means I'll have room for the big tank I've always wanted. I was looking at some reverse osmosis units to use for water for a tank. Does anyone here use one of these things and/or know of a good one to use?

What size tank are we talking about? I only have a small RO kit that does 190liters a day. I use an old marine salt bucket that held 22 kilo's of salt and it takes about 5 hours for it to fill up. The unit is a Aqualight picobello R/O.

First off, welcome to Kentucky. =D

I don't know much about RODI systems but here's a video for you.

That Mr. Saltwater Tank has great taste in RODI units!

Here are some things to look for in a good system for this hobby:

*No more than 4 stages (sediment, carbon, RO, DI) unless you have specific water quality issues you want to address
*Standard-sized prefilters, membrane, and DI cartridge
*Brand name, high-rejection membrane
*Specifications provided for each stage
*Pressure gauge after the prefilters and before the membrane
*Thermometer
*TDS meter (handheld or in-line)
*DI bypass
*Vertical DI stage
*Refillable DI cartridge
*Aluminum bracket
*Quick connect fittings
*No water from pressurized storage container delivered to DI
*Flush valve
*Clear housings
*High-quality instructions written in clear English
*Customer support before, during, and after your purchase
*A vendor involved in your hobby[/list]

PP I am also in the market for a RO/DI system. Which one would you recommend/use? If I were to choose one I would pick the drinking water and reef system. I know nothing about what to look for in these systems.
