    Default Bare-bone RO or set

    In ebay I found a place to get a 100GPD RO TFC membrane for $37. And also a RO housing for $25.

    So for $62 I can have a bare-bone 100GPD RO. No tank. No valves. No tubings I don't need valve because I will use a sprinkler valve at the input instead.

    For $120 I can have a whole setup, pre-filter, RO, and Carbon. with tubing

    Am I right that a 4 gal bladder storage tank is not useful? It costs about $30

    Do you have bare-bone RO or with pre-filter and carbon filter?

    If you have city water you need the filters. The carbon fiter takes out clorine. The clorine will eventualy damage the ro membrane.

    For long-term economy of use, you'll want a system with a 10-inch standard sized set of prefilters - a sediment filter and a carbon block.
