I've heard a lot of positive things about RO-units from Kent, 
seems like a good unit. I'm using an Aqua-Medic since two years 
and it's great. I have fairly soft water so I have yet to change 
membrane. Even though you probably have very soft water check 
out the prices for replacement-membranes. Since you want to 
exchange these on a regular basis this is a cost not to forget.

I mix it with some of the waste water which I have filtered 
through peat. I have used 1:3 waste-peat-water/RO-water which 
works fine. I haven't had the opportunity to try some of the 
really hard species yet (diplotaenia, elizabethae, uaupesi...). 
I know that this setup worked fine for A. gephyra, norberti and 
cf. pertensis.
