I note, eventually, the RO membrane gets clogged and has to be cleaned or replaced. Since these systems are not generally designed to filter sea water I'd bet the operational time and volumes wouldn't be all that great, each time the membrane is pulled it has to be checked to ensure it's working properly, if not replacement membranes have to be stalled (and where are they going to get 'em?,) & etc. & blah-blah.
