Crystal Pro 3-stages

[DrJekyl_MrHyde]

i need review in this product?

how good is the water after going through it Resin ?

N Each Resin cartridge can last for how many litre of water before u need to change it?

reefers using this product pls review casue and actually deciding btw this product or ordering distillwater...

thinking which is more worth getting in the long run.

[Ah-lim]

bump/ I also want to know.

[Soul]

produces almost perfect water for changing water lah nothing much to review about cos cannot compare to those Deltec or Kent marine RO type with built in TDS meter. Chinese say 1 cent u get 1 cent product. Its a little slow also without booster pump.

[DrJekyl_MrHyde]

i m reveiwing this product cause .. i m deciding btw this product or ordering distillwater... which is cheaper to use in the long run... not comparing to other RO Filtration System ...

[Ah-lim]

Would anyone like to share the cost of the resin?

[georgekoh84]

$20 for carbon, $24 for resin each.

Im using the unit now and it produces 0 on the TDS meter.

I estimate it will maintain until around 400 litres then it slowly deteroriates, slow down the flow and i think can last till 800 with around 20 on the TDS meter.

[Ah-lim]

Juz to share.

19 Litre of distill water = $6.

Actually i prefer Crystal Pro because it is a DI unit. Mainly because it does not produce any waste water. RO requires booster pump to force the water through very fine RO membrane but the water is still too slow for use. According to what i read online also, RO produces 90% pure water while DI produces 99% pure water.

thats alot of difference

19 Litre of distill water = $6.

$0.316 per litre

800 Litre for Crystal pro = $68 (change all three chamber)

$0.085

but i usually change when there is a reading..so

400 litre = $68

$0.17

distill water wasn't a choice for me. have no place to store.

thanks... i decided to use distill water... cheaper and time saving for me...

800L is just an estimate. it depends greatly on the TDS of your water. Different places hv different TDS readings, which will then affect the total litres for the resin life span.

My work place reads 53ppm and 52 at home. Those who have a TDS meter, whats the TDS at your place?

see these are the problems that u are going to have if u are going to use RO Filtration System

great choice DrJekyl_MrHyde

[arcanehacker]

Anyone can tell me how do one pump water through this filter? The larger yellow tube comes with some adapter which I do not know how do connect. Why can't they just integrate a normal hose adapter? or can I convert that?

hmm.. my home reads 104ppm.. must be very unhealthy.

[Gouldian]

Mine used to be 48... given up on tap water, sold away a TDS and have been using bottled distilled water since.

Anyone?

Why must most toys in this hobby be so troublesome. Hardly plug and play.. mostly need something else from somewhere before it can work properly.

Thanks... but I never seen the adapter before.. and the Homefix at Jurong point sucks.. hardly can ever get anything when I need it...

try hardware shop

[Seawater]

Just curious, there will be water remaining in the containers after you stop the filtration. Will these stagnant water cause problem since it will stay there for quite a while?

[arcanehacker]

ANyone can tell me if the replacement cartridges of other brands are the same size? Can they be used on this Crystal Pro?

Also, what's the difference on the micron type cart? If 5 micron is for smaller particles, then why do we still get 10? Just put in both 5 and thats it.. right? Is carbon cart neccesary?

You can say that 5 micron carbon is a finer grade so higher quality. Think single cartridge is more than sufficient. Carbon removes chlorine. Chlorine deteriorates the resin.

ok.. I get it about the carbon part..

But if 5 micron cart is higher quality and still cost the same, why not then get 2 x 5 micron on such 3 stage filters? Why even bother for the 10 micron ones?

Think some places water could get very dirty and clog up the 5 micron filter, therefore use 10 microns or more. Also a higher micron cartridge gives a faster flowrate and vice versa. In our case, for the resin to fully react with the water, i use a reasonably slow flowrate while monitoring the output TDS. Singapore water generally does not contain alot of particles, so actually think 1 x 5 micron is more than sufficient. But considering that singapore water contains lots of chlorine, 2 x micron may be a good idea.
