RO/DI help

So I bought a aquafx 200 gallon per day 5 stage with 2 additional carbon filters. I guess that makes it a 7 stage??? It also has a booster pump, the guy said he own a store and with the booster pump it will produce 150 gallons an hour. I paid $100 bucks for it all, not bad I guess. So my question is where do I get replacement filters and membranes at and doe the brand matter. Also do I need the extra 2 stage carbon filters? Just seems a little overkill.

Here are pics

Seems like a 6 stage filter that uses common 10" cartridges. It also seems similar enough to the BRS 6 stage - https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/6-stage-75gpd-plus-ro-di-system-bulk-reef-supply.html the manual is at https://s3.amazonaws.com/brsinstructions/brsRODI/6-stage-plus-2017.pdf

You can get replacement filters there. Without knowing it's history - I would replace all the filters in one go.

Edit: Judging by the 2nd photo - the input water seems to be on the right side.

Looks about right except mine has 2 membrane filters on top. Sorry can't tell from the pictures

If you’re on well water you don’t need any carbon blocks
If on city water 2 is a good way to go

Ya I am on city water, so does the brand matter?

And the booster pump???

Brand doesn't matter, depending on how you plumb it and your source water psi will dictate if you need the booster pump. I have a utility sink in my fish room and use a faucet diverter valve on my system. I have high pressure water coming into my house and can peg the psi gauge if I wanted. I would replace the sediment filter and the carbon filters, get at least a 2 stage TDS inline meter and see where you are at.

And the booster pump???

I would leave the booster pump on. Since that unit has two membranes, you will most likely need the extra pressure to run it at 150GPD. It will also keep the membranes at their optimal pressure to reach its optimal TDS removal rating.
