Saw a tread on hear about putting one together and I went to Habitat for Humanity and was able to come up with all this for $10.00

That's awesome! Keep us posted on the results. I thought about going this route. But I found a good deal online for a Water General 6 stage.

Wow that is stellar. The tubing and couplings will cost you more than all those parts did! LOL

very nice...did it come with all the filters and membranes?

I thought about doing that, but the filters and membranes where about $70.
