Portable RO Filter Recommendations

[reuliss]

Folks, I'm considering taking the plunge of investing in an RO filter. Thing is, I'd rather not do a permanent install in my kitchen. I've seen some portable units that I can hook up to my basement utility sink's faucet for a few hours or the night before a brew session and then disconnect and store until needed again. Has anyone used one of these devises who can share some feedback?

I built this a few months ago and it woks great. It might be a little more than you need, but having the storage tank and pump makes it easy for moving liquid around.

I purchased from BRS.

They just revamped their RO/DI Line of filters.

You can mount this to a piece of plywood and it comes with all the fittings necessary to hook up to your utility sink:

Here is an RO/DI unit (Similar to the one I purchased)

Here is a straight RO unit:

Both of the systems above are designed to handle both Chlorine AND Chloramines.

You don't need DI... here is a 100 GPD system for $99: http://www.ebay.com/itm/100-GPD-Dri...all_Kitchen_Appliances_US&hash=item19c3e5c081
and here is the faucet adapter: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Faucet-Adap...083?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2320d7582b
It's all you need unless you want to add a fill system, then you'll need a float stop and auto-off:
