I’ve already purchased mine, but here was my criteria.
- Must fit in my car
- Must be reliable
- Must have locally available replacement parts
- Must not have proprietary parts
- Pole must be durable
I ended up buying a Hydrobox from Mark at Beautiful View and a 37’ Northern Lite pole as there was a combo deal. It meets all of my criteria.
I will have to change out the DI resin more frequently as it’s a smaller tank, but it’s a trade off with fitting in my car.
Edit: This last bit is moot because I made a mistake reading the prices. They’re all about the same. I’m leaving it in so the next couple comments make sense.
My question for that would be, what is the best source for DI resin in Canada? I’m noticing a huge difference between amazon prices, aquarium store prices and window cleaning store prices. I’ll usually favor the small business, but when the difference is hundreds per pound and my budget is what it is (laid off over a year ago), I really can’t.
Is there a reason for the price gap?
