Used for filtering the water before you put it in your tank.

I have one but I only use it for my SW tanks. And yes if you do SW IMO I think its worth it.

Yes it is the exact one I have. With me dumping mine to a bucket I didn't use the tank. instead I just run the line that is supposed to go to the tank to my WC buckets.
So far so good on the membrane. This particular unit comes with a flush kit. Lots of the 200+ ones you find at the LFS do not have that..it's extra$. 5 yrs is a bit above expectation. Talking to a lot of salties and FW breeders who use RO units here in FL say 6 months is about the best you can hope for because our water down here is liquid rock. Mine has been pumping out over 300 gals a week for 8 months and so far it's still working great. I do flush the membrane about once a month tho.
