used ge 3 to 5 stage under sink model with a 3 gal tank. 25ft nylon 1/4" tube quick connects a float operated fill valve from a toilet repair kit and the biggest rubbermade trash can u can get as a clean water storage tank. Filters can be bought at home depot / lowes / anywhere and cost around $50.
Check out bulkreefsupply.com. They have an option where you can make your own, they build it and send it to you. I had one made for around 180$ and I get 0ppm water, coming from 350-400ppm city water.
Key elements to look for:
carbon block filters (need at least 1, 2 is better, this is what removes chlorine)
D/I or deionized resin filter. This is for after the r/o membrane, it strips any additional ion's/minerals from the R/O water...takes my water from about 20ppm to )
Sediment filter- This should be the first filter in your system, helps remove larger particles...
Reverse Osmosis Membrane-make sure to check the pressure ratings, some R/O membranes will not operate on low pressure water, so a booster pump may be necessary.
Reverse Osmosis - what are you using?
