He will have a sediment filter a carbon block filter and a carbon granular filter (GAC) and you will only
have the first two.
Pre filters have only one job and that's to protect the R.O. membrane, they don't make a difference to the TDS
so as long as your R.O. membranes are lasting then I wouldn't worry about it.

You Dont need 3 filters, those little ro systems were designed for a different application
