Bought mine at Lowes on sale, its a 3 stage unit. Think it was ~99. Makes 5ppm or under water slowly

$80 for 100GPD 0ppm complete 4 stage system. works great but you need to make sure you have at least 35psi at the water feeder. I also run off a well and I had to go to the pumphouse and turn up the pressure to get this system to work properly.

Do you have a pressure gauge? You can get one pretty cheap at HD or the local hardware store. The just "screw" on. I would assume that you would have at least 35psi. Typically the city pressure will be 50psi+

Another place to look for RO systems is Kijiji or any classifieds. People get rid of them all the time.

I have an RO system that I use to drop my tap ppm's to around 250 - 300. Absolutely no sense in buying cal/mag, in addition to the zero pH buffering capacity of RO. The only reason I use RO is because my tap is like 700ppm.
