ro/di unit
« on: October 29, 2010, 19:03:43 »
I am looking for a ro/di unit, dont need a huge one or high output as all i have is just a 12 gallon nano tank. just wanting to make my own water instead of buying it because it will be easier and cheaper for myself...

For as little water as you need to make, you could probably get by with this:

You would also need a TDS meter, and a faucet kit.

I believe lowes sells the garden adapter with the 1/4" RO line quick disconnect fitting.
