Just seen your post. Wondering how you are making out with the lifters. I got two of them last year and have had some days I wanted to throw them right in the trash. I had a guy show me a few tricks...
They are the closest, H2O Inovation is around 6 hours
Those are good points to consider guys. That is the frustrating part of being in the south of Ontario there isent any super close dealers. CDL being 2hrs and DG being 3.
Looking into a new RO for next year. I'm going with a 600 Gal/HR machine. Looking to talk with guys who have the DG prestige ram 600 and CDL 600. The CDL machines look a lot more popular, price wise...

Anyone know where to get sihi parts? Looking for a plastic spacer with o ring.
Thanks guys ,
So will the top be ok? I don't see much difference between your manifold on the top other than being larger. I understand your reasoning behind not pointing the bottom up, liquid is...
