Think you get the 1 micron sediment now, but the 1 or 5 micron carbon is not a solid block. You can always but replacement filters when you need them, you will still get 0 TDS. Even get one right away if you are concerned.

I paid over $850 for my first RO unit back in 1999. I bought this one of eBay and I get the same results for a lot less.

This is the unit I have, and I have ALOT invested. I now use an old RO unit housing for 2 prefilters *5 then 1 micron), note this one is slighly pimped out... It is built on an aquasafe unit though.

If you go with aquasafe make sure to request a cataloge rather than buying it on their website or ebay. They have 3 diffrent prices depending on how you buy it.

Good call, the Aquasafe units have treated everyone I know of that has one really well.

I'm another happy Aquasafe user. It works and is relatively cheap compared for what I've seen marketed specially for aquariums.

With your source water TDS so low, I'd almost consider going without filter.

Aqua-safe eBay store, if you click on a system there's info plus a tech support link
