Here's Another One But just remember you get what you pay for with some of those E-Bay units!
There are a lot of cheap units out there on E-Bay & I would avoid getting any RO unit with the Dow FilmTec 100GPD Membrane (TW30-1812-100). This is the same membrane that a lot of RO Vendors & E-Bay suppliers are using & it only has a 90% rejection rate. Verses a true RO membrane which will have a 98% to 99% rejection rate. In fact Dow’s own Web Site calls it a “High flow 100 gallon per day drinking water element”. Not a RO element! On the other hand the 75GPD & under membranes are called a Home drinking water “RO elements”.
In my opinion I would go with either one of these vendors & the 75gpd membrane!

I got a sweet one from them in a group buy and love it. Top notch quality and service. They were very nice to us all on the phone during the group buy.
And Marc Levenson is selling them too. Here… http://www.melevsreef.com/ro_di.html
I have nothing against Ebay but like said before buyer beware.
