I have an AquaFx Barracuda 4-stage 100 gpd RO unit. I'm happy with it, it was easy to set up and has given me no problems.

Before that I had and Aquasafe RO/DI unit which worked great for 5+ years, but it seems the company is no longer in business.

IMO these units are pretty generic, sharing the same design, basically the same fittings, and the membrane and filter inserts are generic too. I would buy based on cost and the features you want eg. an auto flush kit, float valve kit, pressure meter etc.

not knowing anything about these units other than they clean you water. What options are worth while and the options that are a waste?

Do find the storage tank handy for quickly filling jug to dissolve Mg or Ca.
