I have had mine since last Nov and only had to change resin once, my tds is only about 90 going in and 4 coming out before going through di, so I would say very cheap to run.

All the above is dependant on your water pressure.
If it's poor like mine (65psi) the Merlin will produce water at 66ppm, and you'll use resin quickly.
I had one once, wouldn't get another

I wouldn't get another one either, however, now I have it, and have spent a small fortune on it, its fine! Needs a pump, end of story.

Got a Merlin just over a week ago and love it!  :D

Old RO was 400 USD per day but was no where near that even with 2 booster pumps

I am filling 250 tank in around 2 hours but i did buy a decent pump  for 160 quid

TDS in is 360    out of RO 18   - not bad

I have a 500 GPD RO with 3 pre filters and a booster pump and I can fill my 350 tank in 31/2 - 4 hours.
