Re: R.O. UNIT

[David Sanchez <barbax2@yahoo.com>]

Don't bother with Kent Marine in my opinion it's a toy. I highly
reccomend the Spectapure line of RO sytems. With Spectapure you get a
much better quality membrane that will give you water in the acidic
values right away. Before I moved to Florida I was using an RO and I
have over the years tested the quality of a few brands. A couple of
years ago for a reef tank I purchased the Spectapure and the results
have been far superior. I have a few guys in my local club using RO
systems and they have to mess with the Ph two of them use kent Marine.
Anyway just my 2 cents.
