The unit wasn’t new, it was already a few years old when I received it, but functional. Whenever I receive something used, I’ll generally perform an inspection, cleaning, and replace anything necessary - basically a DIY refurbishment. In the case of the Bluevua ROPOT, I performed a basic cleaning to start. The built in display on the unit showed the existing filters as being close to expiry, so I order a set of replacement filters, along with a cleaning kit consisting of chlorine dioxide tablets and bypass plugs that allow running solution through the system without filters installed.
