There is no di stage, but that is easy to remedy. I would say it depends on your tank size as it is a low flow system. Overall value would be determined by how old the ro membrane is and if the other filters are a standard or propriety size.

Personally I would just go new on the ro/di system.

By the time you spend what you need for new filters and a DI stage you'd be better off buying new. Rarely is used RODI system worth buying.

There's some good off brand RODI systems on ebay. My reading using the first one that will pop up if you search for RODI filter or reverse osmosis filter is the one I'm using. I think it's 89.99, another 5 for the sink adapter instead of hose (which is a must in my opinion).
