Best Quality RO/DI Systems?

That can handle exceptionally polluted municipal sources...

I tore apart the 5 stage I had on my floor added that to my 4 stage and then I now run 2 pre fabric filters and 2 carbon filters 1 5 micron and 1 1 micron and then one DI. Now I dont chew up my DI after 2 water changes. Ill see if I cant get a pic tonight for you.

Hey Mike, I'm about to buy a RO/DI system, and want to make sure it can handle this Thornton toxic waste. Any recommendations on the best brand (SpectraPure, CoraLife, AquaFX, or what?) and how big a system I'll need? If I have to spend a little more, it's worth it...

Among the biggest trouble areas is the South Platte River. Officials in Thornton say they may have to spend $30 million to remove sewage-based pollution from the river, which is a key source of drinking water.

Thornton officials blame much of the pollution on the Littleton/Englewood sewage plant, which has operated under an expired permit since 1996. That permit set no limits on nitrate pollution, which results from feces and fertilizer. A new permit would almost certainly contain nitrate limits, regulators said.

Ten miles downstream from Littleton/Englewood's discharge pipe is the intake for Thornton's drinking-water plant.

It's not so much brand but how many filters... I run a 4 stage: 20 micron cloth filter, 2 micron carbon, 75 GPD membrane, then DI resin. I run through DI extremely quickly, so my plan is to add 2 more pre filters before the membrane... You can buy the canisters and some filters at home depot, or you can buy 2 used RO units and put them together.

Ebay has some nice set ups. I would just make sure that you can get some of the parts to support them.
