    Home units are ro systems for sure. I have a 4 stage ro system for my drinking water. But even those register 30 tds. But I'll put in 30tds vs my tap at 323. What you can buy is a di system and tap into the ro system you have. Buy a 2 way valve to control where and where you want the water...

    Where would you buy a custom tank from?

    I too had really bad experiences with CADlights. I own their 70g and yes I too will not be a repeat customer. I think their tanks are okay for the price. But if you run into any issues, good luck.
