Used cheap one for $50, where? And would i still have to buy filters for it that cost how much for 5 filters, better off with a new one. Like i said, its just nit in the budget @ this time.

wasn't me that said $50.

btw, I'm still using the aquasafecanada unit I bought back around 2005. Other than filter/di changes only other things replaced was the ASOV, a check valve and o-rings. Not like there's much to go wrong but no complaints re: quality.
