RO question

[SadSams]

Anybody price out the 125 RO from ray gingerich. I see talk about the unit but not prices. Also whats the differance in price gas vs. electric? Thanks in advance.

No idea on the 125. However, a user on here named Maple Flats just purchased a 250, I believe, from him. He might have some answers for you since he probably looked at all his RO's. Private Message him and see what he knows about them.

Ray's RO in 125 gal was $2500 in September, 250 gal $3000, 375 gal $4500 and 500 gal $5000. Additionally I got a high pressure and low pressure cut off at $100 each. These are for Honda gas powered. I don't know the electric prices but he does make both. His 125 & 250 are the same frame and motor, with 1 or 2 membranes and a 125 can be upgraded to a 250 by adding the second membrane. His 375 and 500 are same frame and motor, 3 or 4 membrane, also up gradable. His number is 440-422-3047. Ray is Amish and has no phone in the house, just his shop. He works Mon-Sat, closed Sunday. He is a good man to deal with. He makes each unit to order. When I picked up my unit in Sept. He had about 8 or 9 ready for delivery, of which only 1 was electric I believe.
The unit came with the chemicals and supplies likely needed for the first season. I think I may need more prefilters however, the 250 came with 3, I'm thinking I'll want more.

There's no question that you'll want more prefilters. I had a GE whole house style prefilter on my first home rigged RO and it worked great ... one day at a time. After 48 hours, (kept warm overnight) the filter went from white to gungy yellow/brown with bacterial growth. I let it go a third day before openning it an it was really disgusting. Now I change the filter every day. Even at that you can see the bacteria have changed the color, but at one a day, there's no foul smell.
