Reverse Osmosis Equipment

[ChrisPDuck]

Hi all, hope you're keeping well.
I'm looking to purchase a reverse osmosis filter as I fancy the idea of starting from a 'blank' (and more importantly more consistent) slate.

I'm in the UK and usually get my gear from the malt miller who offer this 5 stage filter for £165

However a website called finer filters offer a 5 stage for just £88 which comes with a few addional bits (some of which I wouldn't use) Finerfilters 5 Stage Domestic Under Sink Reverse Osmosis System With Fluoride Removal (50 GPD) Finerfilters

I'd appreciate the thoughts of anyone who's vertured down this road. My main concern is flow rates with the finer filters one but the malt miller one doesn't give any details so may be just as slow / slower!

I think @strange-steve and @chthon have gone down that route according to this thread from last year. Hopefully they can chime in

Remineralised RO water is the best thing I did for my beer (after all the other good stuff) Make sure you get one with a good RO membrane Dow Filmtech from the US is good and check what ppm you should get, 1ppm is good. The cheap Chinglish ones dont get this, I’ve heard people say “Our membranes are designed to give 15ppm” No they are not they are just cheap Chinese crap… Still, depends on how good/bad your water is to start with but (ours is $hit)

Hi, why not try out a batch of five gallon RO water first to see if it makes any difference to your beer?
A lot of fish/pet shops use it and sell it.
It's been a couple of years since I bought it, but it was less than a fiver then for 30 Litres which I needed.
Just a thought.
