Question! Is a reverse osmosis water tank the same thing as an RO filter...?
Found this on craig's list:

"Free Reverse Osmosis Water Tank and refill filters supply for a long time. Brand new, never used. If you can pick up asap and are willing to take along a christmas tree plastic base in green, this is yours."

What is an air valve controller? And why do you need one?

Usually an RO water tank is a tank that attaches to the unit to store water. I'd email them and ask them to specify whether they are getting rid of a tank, or a filter.

dcantucson suggested I use an air valve controller to control the water flow as a pour pre-mixed salt water into the tank. that way i don't need a heater or power head to mix it up first.
