4R00P3R Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 (edited) How long do these last? Do these prices include shipping? Are there other micron sizes availible? Let me check my filter today and if compatable I would like 2 of each. Edited October 27, 2007 by 4R00P3R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bmwaaron Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 (edited) The filters life depends on your water quality. You should be measuring your water out of the Filter unit with a TDS meter and it should read 0 with new filters. I replace my filters when the TDS reads more then 4 or the DI resin is 80% Orange. When we were having all the flooding in spring my filters were lasting a couple months due to the high bacteria levels in the City water but normally they last 4-6 months. These are high quality filters, not the cheap stuff that is repackaged by some of the Aquarium companys. If you go to Lowes and look for a 5 micron sedimet filter you'll pay $10 for 1. I like having them on hand for 2 reasons. 1. They are very expensive to buy. these filters probably cost around $35.00 (for the set of 3) if you can get them this cheap. Online about $25.50 + $7.00 shipping 2. Only 1 store in town that carries them. Keep in mind this does not include the DI filter which usually is about $25.00 or more. I am considering ordering some DI Resin but at a later date. If you guys want to go in on some DI Resin we can get 44 LBS of it for about $229.00 plus shipping, That will fill about 35 cartridges (you have to have refillable cartridges but I have never seen a DI cartridge that wasnt refillable). If you divide the price by 35 its about $6.50 a pop which is great compared to over $20 If you guys want to go in on the DI Resin Ill take 5 of the refills which means we need 30 more Edited October 30, 2007 by Bmwaaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bmwaaron Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 Shipping is roughly 65 cents a filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4R00P3R Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 (edited) My filter says I have to use SpectraPure filters or the warranty will be void. I'll check to see if the DI unit is refillable. I'm still considering sharing the order for filters. The filters I use are 1 micron not 5, so I can't order these.

GKarshens Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Put me down for 1 each of the same Carbon filters you are getting and 5 of the sediment filters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still considering sharing the order for filters.The filters I use are 1 micron not 5, so I can't order these. Thats fine, but are you saying your Sediment filter is 1 micron? If so I would consider changing it to a 5, 1 micron will clog to fast with Austin or surrounding area water. The Carbon filter is .6 micron Im just going to order 6 of each. If someone else wants one just contact me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedude Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Just FYI we also use 1 micron filters on all our RO/DI units. If you think about it, if the 1 micron filter becomes clogged quickly but not the 5 micron, the stuff getting through is hitting your more expensive RO membrane.

+Bmwaaron Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 5 micron is just the sediment the Carbon is .6 micron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bmwaaron Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 OK I changed the order to a 1 micron Sediment but the order is sent. I got 2 extra for anyone who wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4R00P3R Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Sorry for not replying sooner. I guess if it was important I would have gotten a PM. I'm not going to be able to get the filters. I got a TDS meter and found out they don't need to be changed yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
