    Russ will take care of ya.
    No point in buying a ebay one - quality matters the most, especially the quality of the ro membrane.

    Wow!!! Russ must have just given his website a Facelift! Check it out everybody.

    EDIT-BFS--I also like to endorse our sponsors, but everything on e-bay is not garbage.

    Hey gang, it's good that we have strong feelings about the units we have but lets keep focused. We are all in this together so let's just watch the tone of our posts.

    Nope, you were ok on that unit's ro membrane. I checked it out and it's got a filmtec ro membrane. Sediment filter is a 1 micron, which is what I'd use.
    I use the 2 micron carbon block filter (the sweetener), not the 1 micron - but that's because I have a T off for drinking water.
    Either way, rasta, make sure you get an ASOV, float valve (if you're mounting in a sump) and any other neccessary fittings and valves for it. If you can save on shipping, get some extra carbon blocks and sediment filters too. A dual in-line TDS meter (the DM1 is fine) would be a nice add-on too. Depending on your water quality, you may need to replace them every 6 months or so.
