Default Reverse Osmosis Water filters

Can someone recommend a good brand and source for an under-sink RO unit?
My mom discovered her water softener has been malfunctioning, adding salt to the
water and increasing her blood pressure. At least that's the theory. So I'd like
to get her an RO to solve the problem.
I'm in Fort Worth if anyone has specific local recommendations.
