Hi guys,

I have an small 30g tank which will need ~5g fortnightly changes

Can't do much drilling in pipes and walls/kitchen as I'm renting the apartment

Was looking for options on portable RODI systems that I can plug into the bathroom tap faucet directly, leave running for a few hours, draining waste to the bathtub and then literally "unmount" and save for the next two weeks

Is that even possible? Any recommendations on brands in the UK islands ?
( well I'm actually in Ireland. Let's not start that discussion now :p )

I thought about these options:

1)
Geekpure 4-Stage Portable Aquarium Countertop Reverse Osmosis Water Filter System with DI Filter-100GPD https://amzn.eu/d/aZBvHPh

2)

Finerfilters Reverse Osmosis Under Sink Drinking Water Filter System (50GPD) for Home Domestic, Removes up to 99% of Contaminants for the Very Best Drinking Water (4 Stage) https://amzn.eu/d/2YfO51A

( Saw that one in this post:
https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/rodi-unit-selection-uk.992417/ )

Please recommend and leave opinions to this rookie

Don’t know if u have to buy a tds unit separately all depends on how much you want to spend. With the tds it’s telling you how much your rodi is taking out of your tap water

Hey there, ended up requesting a TDS meter from amazon these days

Surprisingly just tested a glass of water there at it threw 087 TDS

Find it suspicious considering I saw some posts with a tap water TDS higher than 200!
Wondering if the test is actually doing the job properly:

product

I live in Dublin, trying to find a fella around the area to compare it

Tds meters I don’t have one but I should it lets you know when your rodi cartridges are done by big readings . So your not making up rodi water that is no good. I don’t know what the lowest readings people have had out of there rodi into the tds . Maybe someone can tell us both probably depends on what type and stage rodi you are running
