I am not a "5 stars kind of guy", but this is a 5 star kind of product.
My setup was almost too easy. I added a pre-filter (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BA9DESA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00) that comes with 3/8" quick disconnect fittings. My initial PPM was never below 375, often we found it in the 500's. We used the (included with RO system) restriction fitting, as over a certain PPM (don't recall, but I think it was 330 or something around there) the instructions say to use at your own risk. And it says it in big bold letters. This will shorten membrane life and lead to premature failures.The pre-filter we used takes the PPM down to around 175 or so. Much better and less wasteful.We used the flush kit (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0047LABHA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00) and that install was a REAL snap too. 2 minute job if you nurse the clock like an hourly employee...I then used my lame attempt at a polishing post-filter (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BA9DE94?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00). PLEASE NOTE: this is different that the pre-filter in that it utilizes a 1/4" quick disconnect. Same filter otherwise, but you'll need to pay close attention to which you'll need based on which you want to filter- pre or post filtering.Just remember: 3/8" for input water, 1/4" for the balance of the system.Our final PPM thus far (still only put 10 gallons thru it, post flush) is around 5-7 right now. I'd call that a success.Nice unit for the price. The ability (albeit pricey) to upgrade to the "200" system is nice as well.It would be nice to have the flush kit included with the base unit, but I understand the (must be an overwhelming feeling) opportunity to make an extra few bucks by breaking it out and making it an "option". Plus, if we don't buy it then you most certainly will be buying (hey look, they just happen to sell these too!) replacement membranes more quickly and often. This is just the economics of our world at work, can't blame them.I will update as time permits and as the unit gets more use. I appreciate your reading and have a great day. Hope this helps!

As advertised
The flush kit was delivered on time and very simple to install. City water is over 300+ PPM so I installed the white restricted for a 2:1 waste.

Clutch
This little baby lowered my TDS from 9 PPM to 0 PPM. I run it for 1 minute before and 1 minute after I fill my tank. It has taken about 6 weeks (I fill my 5 gallon tank once a week) to neutralize my membrane but slowly, I have seen my water quality and taste improve tremendously. I have the Hydro Logic 100GPD Stealth RO System with a booster pump and UV filter. I haven't bought bottled water in about 6 months because I filter my city tap water for drinking. It tastes as good as any water I've tried, except for the Icelandic Spring water which has a very sweet taste.

Missing lock clips
Works great, however it doesn't come with any lock clips, which is very disappointing. Thankfully I had some extras from when I installed my booster pump. You'll need 8 for this part.

Works great, but I did have to modify the length ...
Works great, but I did have to modify the length of some of the tubing to make it fit well.

Prolong membrane life
Great product for the stealth ro 100/200.Filters are expensive, invest in these.

The valve failed and caused a small flood.
Installing this flush kit is easy. After installation I checked the seating of all the hoses. I rechecked them often. Then I went on vacation and my neighbor found a flood coming from under the sink. The leak was coming from the shutoff valve.When I returned home I checked the valve and it has no markings and looks cheap. I replaced the valve with a John Guest valve. If I had to do this again I would go to the local plumbing store and buy 1/4" hose and John Guest fittings instead of the "mystery fittings" that come with this kit.I have two RO units and I've never had a push fitting fail until now.

Useful add-on to ro/di systems
Installation was pretty easy, and you want this piece of equipment to prolong your ro/di's life as it would allow flushing of particulates before and after producing water
