So I'm looking at ordering this unit over the next couple of weeks. The site has the unit listed for US$209 which would be ~$310 plus international postage.ROES-50 - Essence 5-stage 50 GPD Reverse Osmosis Water System for Drinking Water, WQA Certified
APEC Water Built in USA, ROES-50 Essence Series Reverse Osmosis drinking water purification system produces the finest filtered water for the whole family. Enjoy clean, bottled water quality tasting water at the comfort of your own home.www.freedrinkingwater.com
That’s the system I have. Looks like it would be about $530 aus dollars (I’m assuming you’re in Australia based on the other link.) It’s simple to install and service yourself (at least it is here in the US, I don’t know how different the plumbing systems are?) and none of the filters are proprietary so you can find replacements cheaper than the original site if you shop around.
It’s a strange situation to figure out there. Did he service it at the address with bad results, and it was still bad until you moved? I was thinking maybe something (bacteria, fungus, etc) got into the system/lines when exposed to the environment when moving and grew inside.
So many factors that you can’t test since you moved again, but I’m glad you’re better either way.
Just wondering where you derived the $530 amount from? Also, on top of the unit do you think there is anything else I should add to the order (filters, water tester, etc..)?
