Now the the Merlin has been discontinued, what are folks buying instead?

I've been dealing with purewaterclub.com for a little while now. I had an issue with a D.I. filter once and they handled it pretty quickly. Just picked up a 150 gpd 0ppm unit from them for under 125 with shipping.
GE has stopped delivering the Merlin "until the late summer." don't know why. some places recommend the Evolution, which is much pricier.
So are you saying Merlin will not make low PPM water with out the proper water PSi, or does it just take longer to make the water?
I spoke with the Growonix guys at the indoor garden expo yesterday and these are some very well built units. the 150 and the 300 are 2:1 waste ratio and the 600 and 1000 have a 1:1 waste ratio. there is also a booster pump that they say pushes the 1000 to 1800 gpd. they seemed to be very solid and used more rugged materials than my hydrologic stealth ro 200. I believe they cost a little more though.
So do the Growonix RO systems also require high water PSI like the Merlin? I looked on their website but did not see any talk about water pressure requirements.
I have a spectrum pure RO system now. I have never had a problem with it. It’s just sad to watch all the wasted water run down the drain.
Recover it and use it for other things, it's filtered better than the water that came into the unit. Trash can, Wally World has 45gal cans on wheels for cheap. If it's outside, put a mosquito dunk in it. Use that to water plants.So do the Growonix RO systems also require high water PSI like the Merlin?
