Watts RO system
Hey all, I have the opportunity to pick up a Watts RO-TFM-5SV RO system for $30 from a house that is getting demoed. I would obviously replace the filters but in general are these good systems for our purposes?

If it has a DI stage. But be careful buying a used system. Price out the replacement filters. The cost of those units is all in the filters. Quite,often a set of replacement filters will set you back enough to kill any savings you realize by buying a used system.

I have been using a Watts system for 3 years without issue. I added a DI stage and it has been cranking out "0" TBS water without fail. It probably isn't as quick to make water as the more expensive units but it meets my need for 15-20 gallons a week.
