(A) 10-Stage RO/DI System (Bulk Reef Supply)...........$450.00
-6 DI cylinders: 2 Cation; 2 Anion; 2 Mixed Bed
-Aquatec 8800 Booster Pump
-Three triple TDS meters
-I have new, in package, (1) Sediment and (2) Carbon blocks that I will include.
-TDS coming out of membrane is "4" which is the same as when membrane was new.
-None of the DI cartridges have started to change color.
-Two 29 Gal Tanks on stands: One for RODI; one for salt mixing

-OPTIONAL: Spectrapure Liquid Level Controller.......add $50 (New: $165 + tax and shipping).
See info here: https://spectrapure.com/products/si...gpd-llc-300-115-1?_pos=2&_sid=489db54b9&_ss=r

System was set up August 2022. and taken out of service in April 2023. For the last 6 months it was used only for water top off while I was in Florida (no water changes).

Here is system with the two 29 gal tanks below. They were built so one is above the other to save space. There is a valve to empty water from RODI holding tank to Salt Mixing. (Green velcro strap on right cylinders is just to hold electrical power cord back away from door. Will be discarded)

10 Stage system with booster pump. Black box on right is part of the optional Spectrapure Liquid Level System. This is the main shut off of the system with the vacuum tube component in the RODI collecting tank below. I've been using these Spectrapure systems for years and never had a failure but there are two other backups with the system: The Auto Shut Off that comes with the BRS system and I added an Aquatec Pressure switch.

Two 29 Gal tanks. The Spectrapure Liquid Level Controller vacuum tube can be seen in the upper right corner of the RODI tank. Note compact design to fit in tight space.

Anybody interested in a very deluxe RODI system? (See Post #1)

With 2 Cation, 2 Anion and 2 Mixed Bed DI cylinders the final product is as pure as you will ever get! And, because you rotate the first of each set of cylinders, not only does no impurities sneak by but you can more thoroughly exhaust each cartridge. (So, for example, when cartridge #1 of ANION is completely exhausted, you move ANION cartridge #2 to the first position and put a new ANION cartridge in the second position).
 
any more info on the fleece roller?
New Design
Smaller Foot Print
The filter is a high-efficiency water filtration system which effectively removes suspended particles such as detritus, food, organic waste from the water column.

Use in marine aquariums, freshwater aquariums and corals system.

ARF-L G2
Footprint: 8.66" x 7.10"
Height: 17.13"
Width: 16.53"
Roll paper width: 7.87"
Use to Aquarium 1000L ( 264GAL )
Flow Rate up to 1200GPH
Pipe Connection 1.25"
The ARF-L G2 removes the need for filter socks. Water is fed into the internal chamber via the aquarium systems drain, and through the filter roll. When the water level rises in the chamber due to filter clogging the water level switch triggers the motor to wind on the filter roll to a new fresh piece. The water level will then drop repeating the process
 
LAST CHANCE TO PURCHASE ITEMS !!

My condo in West Warwick sold! Yahoo!! I will be driving up one last time from Florida to remove unsold items so can meet with prospective buyers. I will only be at the condo for 2-3 days and will update this post soon with the exact dates but my best guess at the moment is next Sunday to Tuesday (June 4th-6th). I have dropped the prices a little on a couple of items and broke down the RODI System into components. All prices will be firm at this point. Anything I can't sell I will take back to Florida and sell it there or use it myself:
