Inka, I have an R.O. system in RP, I change the 3 stage filters once a year. The membrane and the taste and oder filter I have never changed because I was told they were good for about 5 years. The problem in RP is that while the water in RP is chlorinated and if used directly from the city water sysem you will not get any bacteria, but if your water sits (as mine does because of water outages) in a underground tank at PDO or in a black tank on the roof the chlorine dissapates and the water starts to produce bacteria and sometimes when the water sits it really starts to stink. The reverse osmosis wont kill bacteria so you need to buy a system with an ultraviolet light and you shouldn't have any problem.
