looks good to me the two pumps sounds like a winner and the fact you can upgrade :)

They've actually got a new version of that one in stock now with heavier duty pumps rated for 24/7 use.
 
I measure the output on mine, and I get a litre of pure every 68 seconds,.. so over 1200 litres in 24 hours. :)

TDS in is 240, out is 12,... better than my old Ro-man unit & MILES better than my old merlin.

Sounds good. I've had the one I put the link to for about 6 months and its been good, cost about £197 at the time.
During the summer it produces 1 litre of pure every 60 seconds but is a bit slower at the moment due to reduced temperatures.
Mine was producing 12 ppm from 280ppm in when I first got it, but after bedding in it now comes out at 7ppm so uses very little resin to bring down to 0ppm.

this was my first ro and it was extremely slow - i didn't have any water storage at the time and would have taken 10 hrs to fill 250 ltr tank

they were very good and i was able to return it for a full refund.

then got a merlin

the ro unit itself is good , the filters and membranes that come with the unit are crap if i was you mate i would spend a bit extra or you will be changing the filters and membranes in no time at all .

You'd need a sizeable pump,.. the 400gpd one I have needs 2 pumps, one for each membrane.
