One possibility might be the APRO-5050-P for example.

water solutions, Thanks for your reply. In my 1st post I was asking if the cost of a NEXT-RO was an issue compared to the cost of a good quality standard RO plus the cost of a Permeate Pump? (I understand the water pressure benefits of a WOW tank.) What additional filters would be most...
