    I love my 5 stage ReefKeeper Typhoon from Air Water and Ice. You can get replacement filters from BRS, they are all just standard 10" filters.

    Thinking about getting an under the sink drinking water system from them now actually. Our water out here smells like chlorine and has TDS of nearly 1,000 ppm.

    You can get replacement filters from ebay along with a R/O. With R/O they are all the same. Most Membranes are made from the same company and are bought and sold from the place who sells the R/O system.  Once you have used an R/O you will see what I mean. They are a Membrane housing and up to 6 10" Stage housings(These are just whole house filter Housings.  You slap your name on them and sell them as your own thats all they are... If you want service to come with the system then order from AirwaterIce they are great.
    No mater what a person tells you. You will get a good R/O outcome even with a cheaper pre-filter. I use to buy the Charcoal and sediment filters from Walmart and they worked great. Then I found the same thing on ebay for half the price and went with them. I could order a years worth for like 40 bucks.. Membranes last around 2 years on average some times longer. The price of Membranes have gone way down. You can get one of the best 75 to 100 gpd for like 30 to 35 bucks on ebay if not cheaper.
    Just buy from where you feel comfortable and go with it you will be fine..
    Ebay price look at seller feedback and stick with 98% or better and with higher sales. 100% with only 5000 sales vs one that is 98 and 15000 I would go with 98% guy. ITs too easy. Filmtec Membranes are one of the leading membranes and are sometime relabeled and sold as house MB..

    What is your TDS coming out of your R/O with out DI? Or do you know? I am on well water and with out a DI I am at like 4 PPM
    I am thinking I don't need to hook up a DI with results like this.

    If you are interested my friend is selling his 5 stage ro/di from bulk reef supply.  its about 2 moths old if that, and has probably only been run enough to produce 50 gallons.   Anyways, $125 takes it (originally around $200.  Let me know

    I also have the air/water/ice. Mine had a problem due to the shipping (not their fault UPS' fault) and they took care of me by overnighting me the piece that had cracked. I would without hesitation buy another unit from them.
