Default Aqua-Safe in business any more?
Four or five years ago I bought an Aqua-Safe RO/DI unit off E-Bay.

Lately despite changing the filter cartridges recently the water output has gone way down so I figure the RO membrane is shot.

I figured I'd get a whole new RO/DI unit as I want to install one downstairs.

I don't find Aqua-Safe when I google them and I can't find their EBay store. Are they in business any more?

Or is there any other reasonable priced source of RO/DI systems in Canada? I don't want the hassle of ordering from the U.S.

Um, it sorta is. Back to point, I don't think that AquaSafe is active any more. His website is defunct, and there are no systems on eBay, as you note. You can try to call them at 604-922-3030 (but Ed always professed to HATING calls), or e-mail aquasafe@uniserve.com to see if they're still around. Better to go to the source. [edit] A string of 14 bad ratings leading up to recently, and now de-registered from eBay. Not a good sign.

You're right...they've just dissapeared. I found their website but it only has a picture of an RO unit on it and that's it.

I bought one of their systems for my parents house so I had them on my ebay seller page and their store on there is gone now too.

I hate it when shops just "close UP' Especially when they plan it, start defauding ebay auctions and such, then just leave....

do realize you can buy just a membrane for about $50 from suppliers other than Aquasafe that will fit into their housing?

So for Aquasafe owners, where do we get replacement cartridges etc?
