Can anyone recommend an affordable RO. Im at the point where I'm going through more water than I can collect and want to buy. I'm just not sure what I need. 3 stage, 4 stage, DI?

any tips and help would be much appreciated. I just need it as affordable as possible.

Why not just distilled water? Just about every grocery store carries it for $1 a gallon.

I’m going through to much of it in one shot.

You must have an incredible amount of plants lol

I need to invest in one too. I run through about 3-4 gallons a day during the warmer parts of the year. The only thing I have an issue with is most RO systems seem to have a 3:1 ratio of waste water to clean water. I just feel like it’s wasting water. But as my collection expands it’s getting harder to collect enough rain water.

Pet fish shops here in UK sell it cheap.

I'm right there with you on the collecting part. The other thing is when your trying to keep 1.5-2 inches of water in a tray and good air movement it evaporates quickly.

I think shipping to the US would kill the cost savings from there.

Maybe there are shops in USA that sell it.
