Aquasafe Group Order

[Matt]

When I purchased my system, I didn't order any filter cartridges, and it is now time to replace them. However, it seems odd to buy a 6-year supply... Still, it is likely that we can save some shipping costs if we combine our purchasing power. Ideally I'd like to split an order with someone.

Any interest?

I am interested. How much does the half order cost?

[Matt]

I'm thinking that one case of filters, and one case of DI resin should do for a while.

That's $55+$40 + Shipping (~$20?) / 2 = ~$58 each. Shipping and/or pricing might get better if more folks get involved.

Regards,
Matt

My TDS is still low single digits but guess I should get in on this.

i need a case of DI beads , and 1 REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANE $35.00 and TDS METER (can't seem to find it)

[Matt]

OK, I'm going to email Aquasafe to ask about group pricing and shipping tomorrow.

Anyone else?

Order has arrived. I'll part it out and send PMs tonight or tomorrow to arrange for pickup and payment.

Where abouts in the city are you Matt?

[Matt]

Everyone should have PMs now. For those who wonder if it is worth group-ordering... yes&no. For me, it is more work than the money saved by far, but I get to meet some of you (again in some cases), and that's worthwhile. For the other end, we collectively saved about $145 in shipping and got 10% discounts totalling about $40 (just about enough to make the US$ catalogue prices Canadian par). For understanding how I calculated shipping/totals, I took the shipping charge published in their catalogue, divided it into what they actually charged for shipping, then pro-rated that back onto each item. So, we each paid .30 of the published shipping rate on our item(s).
