    I just bought a BRAND NEW still in the wrapper Hydro-Logic Stealth 200 RO unit that reatails at $300, at a yardsale for $60, i couldnt pass it up.
    I've seen threads debating this but wanted to talk personally about it.

    It will be a good upgrade from tap. You can get DI add ons that should be able to hook up to the RO unit.

    RO only will be 90-98% better than tap water. You can always get an add on DI to go with it to get the TDS down to 0 .
