Glen, This looks to Hubby & I like a stainless steel housed sand or DE filter for a well - See link at:
http://www.poolcenter.com/filters_nautil...olstor.htm
& your pump sounds a lot like a well pump. We have had a couple of whole house RO units on our old mainland wells. Most of the time you place a cartridge filter BEFORE the RO units, to extend the life of the RO membrane. I have not seen an RO unit that can be opened (See this link for a desalination stainless housed RO system with sealed tanks: http://lisachan07.en.ec21.com/product_detail.jsp?group_id=GC02056745&product_id=CA02056779&product_nm=Reverse_Osmosis_System
. The semi permeable membrane in that filter is the expensive part & not really sturdy. All of the RO systems that I have seen are totally sealed.
Good luck with this....Maybe you have the parts for installing a well!
