Having an 8 gallon & 15 gallon tank equals out to about 3 gallons a week i changes so my thought process is @ $ $80 a year was not worth spending from what i thought would be over $400 installed for a 5 stage unit with reservoir & labour.

I bought my system off eBay for $200. 5 stage filter that is portable and hooks right up to your faucet. Came with many carbon/filter/etc replacements as well. I get 0 TDS every time. Although it takes about 2 hours to fill a 5 gallon jug, this is the best solution in my opinion for a smaller tank.

I have that same system. I have added a DI canister and a vertex 75 psi booster pump. No complaints!
