RO Replacement filters?

[shaggyblz]

It has been about 7 months since I installed my RO unit (5 stage) and I am looking for replacements for the carbon and sediment filters. Everything but the membrane. What filters do you guys use? I found some for a good price online, but I'm not sure that they are good. They are:
Liquatec 5 micron sediment filter
Matrikx + CTO/2 5 micron carbon block filters
Omnipure inline GAC filter
Anyone have experience with these filters? Also, what filters are considered to do an excellent job?
Thanks.

where did you buy your RO unit? They should also sell replacements. I bought mine from **************.

I bought an off brand RO unit at a going out of business sale(First mistake). It came with offbrand filters that I'm pretty sure aren't doing as good of a job as I would like. I'll check out that place.

That actually isn't a mistake. An RO filter, is basically just a housing. The filter is what actually works. Just change out the filters and you'll be good to go. I use the brand name "thefilterguys". Their products are satisfactory.
