I like this unit for my current setup (30gal) It works well and i get 0 tds running the di attachment. I would spend the extra money and get a better unit if you have a larger tank or just hate all of the waste water... this gives you about a 4:1 ratio. I have gotten about 8 months out of my carbon, di and sediment cartridge. I replaced these and it cost me about half of cost of unit...... What the heck!!! I will no be replacing my ro cartridge and will just buy a more efficient unit.Hide
