Call several of the catchment companies. Ask them for pricing on 2 of the 4.5" x 20" filter housings and their recommendations for a sediment (typically 20 micron) and a carbon filter (typically 5 micron). Your UV should be scaled for your water usage, as well as your pump capability. With this properly set up, you should be able to drink your treated water. Have it tested before doing so. The 20" filters can last 8-12 months before changing, which is a good savings over the jumbo 4.5' x 10" filters, and way better than the smaller diameter filters. I don't think you need any serial numbers for the filter housings and filters; going by the dimensions should be adequate. Too bad you can't make it to the ARCSA community dinner Thursday night in Kea'au.
See my post in the general forum about the ARCSA conference. The HRCS website is posted. It has a PDF of rainwater catchment resources on the Big Island. You can get phone numbers there.
