Well guys just recieved my unit. All look great esp. for the price. The unit via UPipped as 15lbs. Maybe that explains the cost of shipping ($30). I will let you know what happens.

Want to post a pic. The paper clip will not let me. Any help?

Congrats hope it works. Im thinking of going with aquabuys Ro unit instead. It costs more but i already know how to use it and dont really have to tweak anyhting. Hope it works out for you though.

Thought I would jump on your thread (I hope you don't mind). I got mine today as well... 1st impressions... I'm pleased :D it looks to be a nice unit and comes with a lot more accessories than I got with my last RO/DI unit. For those that are interested... it is a 100gpd unit... at least that is what the RO unit is rated at... I'll post pics as well (eventually). All in all for ~$90... It seems to be a steal... I need to get another TDS meter to see how it really does, but I assume that it will do fine...

I bought one of those a couple of years ago and cant complain a bit (especially for the price). I still have it.

I have one... a water general.. Works great got a pressure gauge and inline tds meter. I still test it with my own from time to time and always reads 0 tds

Is this Ro/Di unit sold by an ebay store. If so can you post the name of the seller. I need to get one.

Does anyone know if the Water General is worth the extra money. Thanks.

I just bought one and I was wondering for whoever bought one how long did it take to get it? I ordered Sat night and its wed and still nothing. I thought it would be here by now. Maybe tommorrow.

I ordered mine on Saturday night, and it was delivered the following Friday.

Guess I will just have to wait. I really want this thing by tommorrow so i could do a water change on SAT.

I also ordered a fitting that hooked up the in water tubing to a hose spickett (sp?). So we had mine making water in like a minute.

But make sure you know which line is which. I made near 40 gallons of waste water the first night. The ro/di water just ran out in the yard.

Second try, I had a hole in my container. So all my water just ran out in the yard. 3 times the charm though.

And I have to say, this is probably one of the best investments I've made in this hobby. I had an algae bloom with my tank that I blame now on my water. With the ro/di, everythings running smoothly.

Luckily this unit comes with everything labeled including ro and waste water. I also ordered the hose fitting thingie and my containers will get a good amount of clean water hopefully.

Wondering how they shipped. Usps? Ups? Fed ex? Or DHL?

I believe mine was shipped via UPS. But now that I double checked the link, I'm not sure I ordered from the same seller. The unit is similar though.
