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!

I have an Aquasafe system with a 50 g storage barrel for my RO water, also get our drinking water from this same system with the addition of a polishing filter.
Works great!
