    I believe the first stage of most RO filters are 10 micron so I don't know that this would help. Good idea to have the 25 micron filter though.

    I think that by installing a in-line pre-filter before the R/O unit, it may affect the preformance of the unit. Most, if not all, R/O units have a pre-filter stage. You will end up spending more money in the end. You can always contact the company and ask them. My R/O unit comes with a .05 micron pre-filter. Luna
