Did he buy it? I'm interested but I'm on the west coast :cool:

Oh yea I forgot that's the most important reason to get it. I don't want to kill my RO membrane!

For chlorine and chloramines alone yes but metabisulfite also adds back some potassium, sulfate and chloride which I don't want. And if I'm going to go through the trouble of running the water through RO I might as well filter out all the chloramines during that time as well.

Haha yes I gotta make sure I buy the right system the first time so I've been nerding out on this stuff. I suppose I could also buy an inline gauge to verify the readings are the same but I will take your word for it. It does look a lot cleaner having the gauge on the housing though. Anyways, I...

Ok no worries. One more question. Your system looks like the pressure gauge is attached to the membrane housing towards the outlet side. Normally I see the pressure gauge situated before the inlet since the inlet pressure is important. Does your gauge determine the inlet pressure somehow still...

Ok thanks for the info! I guess I will just take your advice and get the 4 stage system. More carbon can't hurt haha and I want to make sure my chloramines get filtered out. Do you give a discount to forum members since you're a sponsor? Or are you doing any kind of discount for Labor Day this...

Ok thanks then you are confirming that I don't need anymore stages for brew water if I run this? Sediment > Chloraguard > RO Membrane

Thanks for the link but this doesn't answer my question in regards to the carbon filters. Your system requires an additional stage to be added for chloramines. Why? Why can't I just swap out the 0.5 micron carbon block for the Chloraguard carbon block and call it a day? Sediment > Chloraguard >...

Hello. I've been researching RO systems for my brew water. I live in SoCal and we have chloramines so I need to filter those out but I'd like to have as few stages as possible. Most 3 stage systems look like this and come with a standard 10" carbon block filter. Sediment > Carbon Block > RO...

Yes it is zinc coated copper according to the documentation. I'll soak it in star san tonight and report back the results. Thanks for the help!

These heater elements were brand new. I soaked them in water for a couple days to do the initial leak test for my heat sticks. I noticed the water became cloudy then I pulled them out and they had all kinds of black specs on them. On closer inspection it appears the coating is coming off. Are...
