Dont get one at home depot they are cool and good but they only max out at like 25-30 gallons per day. Get a deionized 200 Gallon per day R/O system from your hydro store they will take the ppm to zero and the 200 gallons per day is pretty useful once you make the investment.

Can I get the one without the di filter? From what I have read there's not a big difference in the ppm right? The hydro store only have a 90gpd spectrapure but I found a 180gpd spectra online for 180.00 but it doesn't have the di filter

Should be fine the DI are better but you can still have a low PPM without it wont be zero but it will be low like 10 - 60 PPM. Go for it.

thats what i was thinking i am using water with a ppm of a 100 and everything is stable even ph so i think im good, doesn anyone have experience with spectrapure or hydrologic ro systems?

I work at a water filtration company, the brand we sell and recommend is the Hydrotech 4 Post reverse osmosis unit. It is awesome, get's your PPM to being practically non existent. it has a 1 micron prefilter with two carbons and a membrane. Definitely recommend this. All of my customers have had great results from it.

I've had several Spectrapure systems, they are very good. I have a 4-stage RO-DI 30 gallon per day unit now. I use it for my salt water fish tank and for hydro. Just what out for their liquid level controller, the one with the float. It sticks.

I picked up a cheap small RO system from ROman on ebay. It was £30 and ok it does take like all day/night to get 25 litres but at 30 quid and output water of 30ppm im happy with it.

I use the Hydrologic Stealth RO100 @100GPD. or for another $100 you can get the RO200 and it does 200GPD.

0ppm.

But you can find cheaper units out there.

Remember on a well you will want at the very least 40psi or else your membrane will go out faster then you expect. 60psi is ideal.

well i have no idea what psi i have

Your going to need to find that out my friend before even thinking about a RO unit. PSI is critical for the filtration process to happen, I have no need to increase mine as its spot on but I'm sure there are ways to get the output pressure boosted.
