I received the RO-90 today, but didn't get the extra set of filters and TDS meter, as stated in a comment below. Should I have received these?

Ordered on Jan 12 2015. Same here. Thats not fair. People gave it rave reviews because of the added value and now they stopped giving these. This is not a fair marketing tactic. I like the product, but it is pricy and w/o these additional items I feel ripped off! Sigh!

No. If you have high TDS going in your efficiency will drop. Get the pre-filter if your ppms are over 200 going in

Hi - Yes, when I ordered mine, it came with the filter - everything I needed to replace the old unit. I hope this information is helpful!

I'm not sure. The specs seem to be the same. Could it be there are five filters in the package? I was hoping that the comments would be helpful, but no luck.

Mine came with an extra filter that was included in the box. It's to replace when the first one gets old.

I didn't get any in mine. There is a complete list on here of what came in the item you purchased.

Seems about right. What you mean by difference? I have paid 1069 for mine (nikon mount) and it didn't include filters and cleaning stuff.

IDK which item # I received. My meter arrived with no sample strips and no lancet was included with the meter that I received. I received only the meter and a case. Luckily, I already had a lancet and strips and control solution. You can probably find a better deal with the same meter if you continue looking.

Yes I did test this system with the TDS meter and was very disappointed. The readings were exactly the same as what came out of the tap. I called Brondell and they informed me that was how it's supposed to be. Their system is apparently designed to only remove the bad taste...not the dissolved solids...well in my case it did neither. The water still tasted bad and the TDS reading was just as high as the tap. Our water is so bad here, typical readings from 450-800+ so it may just be that filters don't work here. I gave up on filters after trying many and ordered delivered water from Culligan.

The Amazon ad that I ordered by did say that two filters were included, but the order came without the filters. The sender then sent the filters separately.

I'm sorry I don't know. In my case they were not the correct filters despite what was said; we finally went to Shark directly to get the right filters.

Mine came with a filter included. I also bought 2 more filters and after seeing the quality, I bout 5 more filters. A great product for sure. You will not be disappointed.

Filters came with mine although I know that at least one reviewer said theirs came without. Maybe it depends on which seller you buy from?

yeah, that should fit your model. No idea on the shelf life of the membranes but I think they are more related to time in use and not time in a bag. have you tested the TDS? changed the other filters according to schedule? I was getting around a 30ppm tds from an input tds of 600-700 by the time I changed it. I think the water quality is a little worse with the 50gpd membrane. (roughly 50ppm post install with the same input tds.)

I don't know yet. I'm not past the extra filters they include in the packaging yet. I'm sure they'd like us to buy the replacement filters. I can't get at my installation instructions right now, but I'm betting it might say there.
