You will also need an adjustable valve to restrict the waste during production and to allow flushing when needed. You will obviously need hosing to connect all of the above. If you're in a low water pressure area (-50 psi) then you may well need a booster pump, something like a 150 psi Shurflo will do the job well and an In-line TDS Meter may be a useful addition.

I know I have seen someone that has a filter after RO and for the life of me cant remember why this was, I have a 4040, and like always Alex is spot on (no pun intended)

i am very happy with my system it was easy to set up and if you have any problems they are more than happy to help.
