    I really can't tell from the listing but it kind of looks like a "downsized" unit. Which would mean that filters, etc. would be more of a specialty item $ and harder to find. Also this unit doesn't look like it comes with the hoses you will need to find/buy the right hose for those fittings. You might end up spending more than buying a larger unit (100 GPD)

    Again, I highly recommend this unit.

    Don't get me wrong, any unit will probably do the job. But cost, complexity, serviceability and longevity are all worth consideration to get the most from your investment.

    Yeah I get what your saying. I have been trawling everywhere looking for a decent system. I emailed bulkreefsupply on Friday about shipping to Ireland and I am still waiting to hear a reply.

    That looks like a good one.

    These items have the same GPD capacity and are cheaper. They don't include the under-sink kit however. One is buy it now and the other has a lower starting bid.

    I emailed the seller to see if they will ship to Ireland and how much it will cost. Thanks for all your help Tom.

    Hi Russ,

    I had a really tough time getting one I was searching for about 2-3 weeks. The only place I could get one was the US, I contacted you and several other vendors and got pretty much the same price for shipping all round due to the weight of the system. So no matter which system I was getting the price was coming to about $250-$300. Then a vendor in the UK popped up on ebay and while the system was about the same price as those I had been looking at in the US but the cost of shipping was much cheaper so I got it for about E120.

    No I tried to get in contact with ROMan but I got the reply about 2 weeks later and I already had my ebay system by then, it's this one eBay.ie: REVERSE OSMOSIS (RO) PURE WATER 125 GPD & DI UNIT (item 380077269778 end time 27-Jun-09 13:28:43 BST). The water is near 0 on the TDS meter so it's pretty good as far as I can tell.

    OK. Glad you found one. At some point it would be a good idea to add a pressure gauge.
