Is this a RO filter?

I have this filter thing that looks like a RO filter under my sink. Can anyone tell me if it's a RO filter?

Thanks

No I would say it is just a filter with different grade filters. It wouldn't take much to mod it for DI or DI/RO.

I would see if the third stage can accept a DI resin cartridge and then you can add a RO unit from J&L's

You could make that an RODI by replacing the last chamber with a DI cartridge and buy the white RO unit (like in the pic below) and splice it into the system.

Personaly I would leave the 3 filters (one sediment and two carbon block) and then add a membrain to make it RO. DI is nice but I am not sure if I would spend the money on it again. the TDS out of my RO is 0 and the TDS out of my DI is 0 so I am not realizing any large benifit using the DI chamber. the problem is to add a RO membrain to that unit as a add on you are looking at about 150.00 if you can find a real good price on the parts to do it.

I can look into the cost of a casing and membrain from my supplier if you are interested but I am geussing it will be close to 150.00 but you never know.
