If it's been left to dry out its buggered.
( that's what I was told )

You always run it and see what results you get

Why not test run it ? Put the pure to a drain and see what it reads after an hour.

You can put a teaspoon of bleach in to kill any bacterial build up

Some of the filters would be OK /ones I think would be possible problems would be resin and ro. I would take resin off and see what the ro is reading if ok. 30'' resin £100.

Always presume that you will have to replace all filters and take that into consideration when bidding. If someone else outbids you then so what. Maybe you know something they don't.
