Yeah that's for whole house filtration that doesn't care about metal fittings.

It also doesn't have an RO membrane, which is the expensive part.

Look for used RO/DIs.

The expense related to RO/DI filters comes in the filters themself and not in the device/housings.

A used system would still require fresh filters, so the expense is there whether it be new or used.

Metal, copper is fine.
It's when salt water and in tank use that metal is the problem.

Looks like that has a couple filters and the di part. You can absolutely buy a ro membrane and a housing for the membrane aftermarket. The only problem is you will have to reconfigure the setup.

Prefilters>ro membrane>di cartridge.

Edit: that's not di, sorry for the confusion, that is GAC. So you still need the di part.

I already have the 2 part system, it is brass not copper, and i want
to make this part the DI resins and the 3 stage the sediment and carbon with one or 2 membranes after that. So you say it s safe to use? keep in mind that it ll
be a exit from the brass part after the DI chamber . I want to
copy the BrS filters
