what precacautions do you take
ive just undone all my old filters from my old RO ( not used since last dec ) , as ive ordered new RO and pre-filters
all the gunk in the 5 micron sed cartridge was shocking

what precacautions do you take
None. Afterall if you hadn't filtered it you'd have drunk it straight from the tap in the house.

even though the carbon block takes out all the clorine thats s.posed to keep it healthy ? ? ? ?

Surely the sediment filter is before the carbon, so the carbon doesn't clog up with the gunk. ;)

I'm confused now.
We filter out tap water fit for consumption, what exactly are you expecting to come across that is potentionaly dangerous?

legionnaire disease ?? ? ? ?
No
That occurs when stored water is subjected to continuous heating up and cooling down as in air conditioning units in buildings.

I think you are a little vage there ;)
How do you get Legionnaires' disease?
Legionella bacteria are found naturally in the environment and thrive in warm water and warm damp places. They are commonly found in bodies of water, soil and potting mix.
People usually get Legionnaires' disease by breathing in Legionella bacteria in very fine droplets of water called aerosols.
Man-made water systems sometimes provide environments that let Legionella bacteria increase to large numbers. These man-made systems include showers, spa pools, fountains, and also cooling towers associated with air conditioning and industrial cooling processes.
The evaporative units sometimes used in home air conditioning units have not been known to cause Legionnaires' disease. You cannot catch Legionnaires' disease from another person, or from drinking water contaminated by Legionella bacteria.

i would suggest that you need the sediment filter so that any bits of grit etc don't clog the RO.
I was once told that a 1ft square piece of RO membrane, stretched accross the Atlantic would not allow a 5pence piece to pass through it.
