Has any one used one of these for making their R/O water? will it be just as good as something I buy online? The problems I worry about is that it sat with water in it for a while, and I don't see any ratings on new membranes to tell me how much use I will get.

Story:

My office used this until the cooler spring a "Leak". They told me I could have the R/O Unit the cooler and the 3 gallon storage container.

The cooler leak I discovered was nothing more then a loose 1/4 tubing, I fixed that and I use the cooler now with no filter. I am tempted to throw away the storage container just because I don't know how to clean it good enough open to ideas.

Cleaning steps:
It sat at the office for some months full of water, I took it home drained the water and its all been sitting empty in my house for close to a year.


The actual R/O unit is one of the tall ones I took it apart and cleaned what I could access when I got it home a year ago. So I think I could flush this out for a hour and it would be clean enough. The is a 36GPD R/O unit my soon to be tank is only 55 gallons so I am guessing I would only use 10 gallons aweek.
