Amazon sells these units -- that's where I got it -- the local plumbing supply wanted $320 for it BTW.
i've read that drinking r/o water is bad for you though. since r/o water has no minerals in it, causes the water to be acidic and supposedly it will suck minerals out of your stomach, bones, etc. or something like that.
