you can get a pretty good unit from ---- for less than $100. the seller is "aquasafecanada". then, you can geta small separate faucet that will run the RO water from Lowe's or HD for about $12. that's it. if you don't know much about plumbing, I'd get a professional to hook it up.

it DOES come with instructions, but the instructions are AWFUL. it's a good it to hook up if you don't know what you're doing, but it could be done. luckily, I got mine when I was building my house, so I got the plumber to do it. they have pics of it on ----, but it looks pretty much like the ones that cost double the price at Lowe's. I think the only upkeep is to replace the coconut shell filter every 6 months or so, right Carp?

I have a feeling I have the same one as you and just finished hooking it up yesterday. If your at all inclined mechanically it will not be a problem to hookup. Literaly 3 lines, water in, drain, and DI water out. If you dont feel comfortable with that you can get the faucet adapter which means pretty much no plumbing at all.
Its so far a great unit with great output. Yes the prefilter lasts 6 months according to their paperwork. This also of course depends on your output of water and how bad ur water is starting out. All the other filter are replaced at the year mark except for the stage 4 filter which lasts 2 years approx.
