Both spectracap and brs sell 200 gallon per day unit. spectracap is rated 1:1 vs brs 1:1.5. The idea of minimal waste is appealing given the amount of water to be used.

The trigger for this post is that spectrapcap unit is $2000 vs brs unit which is only $375. Naturally $375 is appealing so i'm not sure if more experienced users can explain if/waht spectracap is offering for the additional $$$. Nominally I expect to use around 80 gallons a day and felt 100 gallon unit was too tight esp in the event of an emergency.

Some additional information my water base tds is around 120-130 so not super hard but not super soft; also we will be filtering the water through a charcoal unit prior to the ro unit in case that matters.
