Place to service reverse osmosis filter?

Does anyone know of a place that services under-sink reverse osmosis 
filters?  I tried searching online but only found corporate and 
maintenance contract services.

I bought one recently at Sears and it quickly failed.  It's a 
self-install kit and I uninstalled it to bring it in for repairs.  They 
claim uninstallation is destruction and will not inspect it.  I need to 
pay a 3rd party to repair the device.  If the repairs show that I did 
not damage the equipment, I can have Master Card reverse the purchase 
fee.

Go to  http://www.AbundantFlowWater.com  - I bought a
"Deluxe Aquarium" filter  (75 gallons a day)
for about $200, that produces
water at zero parts per million with good quality DI filters
after the RO filters.  It's pre-assembled, and ready to 
go.  I used to go with servicing RO systems - but found
ones like the site above are far better than what Sears sells.

I am amazed at how many kids text books and web sites
warn of the "danger" of very pure water.  Eg, you will die
if you drink distilled water. perfectly pure water is a 
danger.   I know first hand this is bunk, but the Net is
sure full of scares on pure water. 

As an example, I grow sprouts using "distilled" water,
that has zero parts per million of dissolved solids.
The sprouts love it, and grow faster than they do with
tap water.  My cat has been drinking the same "zero"
water for 11 years and still is 100% a functioning cat.

Never heard of that.  I think the RO water is very refreshing and it's 
good for house plants that don't tolerate salt and mineral buildup.

For fun, go on Google and search for dangers of reverse osmosis,
or danger of distilled water, or anything like that, so many
site - all of them selling something to add to your water or
a non R/O filter store.  If you keep scrolling you find doctors
and such saying that's all nonsense - distilled or RO water is
perfect to drink.

But in a high school text book of my kid, it says drinking
distilled water can cause death and kill plants.  

Most people I've asked think distilled water is poison!
