I have a Parker RO system. It came from Grainger. The RO canister is a couple hundred to replace.

Lowes had a GE or some other appliance brand that looked to be ok for a couple hundred. I was thinking of buying one instead of replacing the cartridge on my current system.

Any properly designed RO system rejects particles over 1 micron. When the flow rate declines it is because the film that rejects larger particles becomes clogged. It is then time to replace the RO canister.

Parker also makes a wound 2 micron particle filter which may add life to a RO system when added in front.

RO systems also have particle and charcoal filters which are easily changed. If one's water has VOCs then replacing the charcoal filter becomes more important.

Aquarium water needs charcoal treatment to remove te VOCs municipal providers add. Chlorine and Florine are bad for fish. RO is overkill.
