    If you don't mind spending a little more, you can get a 5 stage 90gpd unit direct from spectrapure.

    They have "refurb" units on sale for 120 right now. I've read where several people ordered them and got new units.

    Make sure it doesn't leak. The digital readouts work. I figure for that price you will need to replace all the filters.
