Filter Pkg $54.99 + $10 (with purchase of system) - $6.50 (less 10%???)

Once again, thank you so much for your time on this...
you probably don't get 10% off the shipping.

Cheers,

Yes, according to their email, the 10% discount applies to everything other than the full units, so it includes resins & membranes.

anyone interested in splitting a box of filters and some DI resin beads? if someone could answer me this as well...how often do you change the filters and membranes? my system is now about 2 yrs old and i haven't changed any. i flush the membrane periodically but my TDS is still the same as when originally setup...001 ppm.

anyone?

Try measuring your TDS at various points during the filtration process (e.g. from tap, after pre-filters, after RO etc) to get a real idea of performance. With our low TDS water in GVRD, your TDS measurements post-DI will measure 1 for decades, but that doesn't mean your filters are OK.

I would definitely change the pre-filters after that bout of super turbid water we had in November. My prefilters were nasty after that episode.

that makes sense...so then if you can't use TDS as a guage, what can you use? and how often should you change the membrane? TDS outta the tap here is only 012ppm as it is.

that offer for splitting the filters and resin still stands if there's any takers.

Darryl - I'm up for it! I sure don't need that much, so any savings would be bueno!!

I'm in Surrey and I have reason enough to bother Anthony to get the stuff

Hey Anthony,

I'll be splitting:

- Resin: 39.9 (12.5 s/h)
- Filter pkg: 54.99 (20 or 10 s/h)

Can you confirm the total cost with shipping?

Thank you!!

Nick

We now have enough units on the Group Order to get the lower price, which I have listed above.

Each person's order has now been converted to Cdn. dollar prices & include GST. As an added bonus, due to the size of the group order, Aquasafe is waiving any added shipping costs for accessories. The US/Canada exchange rate they use is 1.185, so that is the one used in the calculations above.

If anyone has any questions about the group order or want to join in or add to their order, please contact me ASAP.

Thanks,

Anthony 604-677-7254
