Anybody know why the replacement filter cartridge costs more than the whole unit?

Because there are sellers that are not making anything on them and just trying to undercut other sellers

Unfortunately the pricing does not make sense. Our prices may fluctuate to stay competitive. I will look further into the pricing in case the listing is wrong.

Beyond getting parts directly from the manufacturer, you would replace the whole unit. It's not that pricey of a unit anyway. But keep in mind, this is a GARDEN HOSE filter...it won't fit on household appliances.

Check the measurements. It is usually cheaper to buy a new filter then replacing individual parts. I bought my C-900 for 290 ish New.

The price changed so drastically from my last order that I wonder if it is the same filter I ordered, and I haven't done any research yet to find out. Sorry. Google it to find out or call Hunter is best way.

DON'T buy the replacement cartridge. They are difficult to install and if they bend, it's over. Gaskets can also be a problem. Replace the entire unit. It costs a little more, but it is very easy to install and removes any gasket or other problems. Been there, done that. Good luck.

The part number for the filter cartridges can vary as there are many different brands and companies selling them. The part number that our company uses for the entire filter set is DFK-Alpha and cost $34.00. You change these filters every 6-12 months. Our part number for the replacement membrane is RF-MB-50F and costs $39 and typically only needs changed every 2-4 years. They can be purchased on our website.

If the $200 item looks like the picture adjacent to the left, then I would buy that one. I think I bought my filter for about $200 and it works really great. These filters are very simple in construction and I don't understand the reason for the large fluctuation in price.

I paid $5.76 for mine (a single PL14459 filter) and that is still showing as the current price. Prices on Amazon for many items seem to fluctuate somewhat from day to day. Monitor it for a while to see if it goes back down to $9.50 for a two-pack. Not sure what part number you're looking at specifically, but the price of this one hasn't changed at all.

The price is for both cartridges. I have never seen them sold separately, since you have to replace both at the same time.

I use this unit currently. I can't believe people pay way more than this for units that simply do the same thing. Anyways, I have only replaced two of the filters so far: Coralife 05700 PureFlo 1 Micron Sediment Filter Cartridge and Coralife 05702 Pure Flo II R/O Carbon Block Cartridge. Once you search and find those filters, finding the De-Ionizing filter will be simple. As you face the front of the unit (as depicted on the box) the order is - left to right - 1 micron prefilter, carbon filter, and finally, de-ionizing filter. Easy! Good luck.

I order the filters from Home Depot. You can also vacuum the cartridges and the felt pre-filter and get a little more life out of them. Remember to push in the reset button by holding down the end of a paper clip into the hole till it beeps.

The entire system is the plastic houseing, the 10 stage filter cardridge itself, and the hoses and faucet. The entire system is usually sold together as one unit, and then you are expected to replace the 10 stage filter cartridge about every year or so. You will find the filter cartridges cost almost about as much as the entire system, which they discount to you for that initial purchase. But again to answer your question, the last time I bought this system, the filter cartridge came with it (was packaged together).

We found our replacement filters sold at a retail store where we live. I am not sure if they are sold everywhere but they are sold out there!

There was a 3M reusable wipe that was enclosed with the filter... If it was not in your package contact 3M, they will usually ship a replacement out to you.

As long as you already have the cartridge the filter goes into then yes, just buy the replacement filter.

The case my 6 filters came in is labeled "High Performance". I used to buy my filters individually from the heating contractor that installed my Geothermal system. But his price per filter started at about $50 each. When he next wanted $60 per filter I started to look elsewhere. This contractor does annual "tune ups"of my system and says that I am buying the same filter that they were selling me previously.

The replacement filter cost 51.90 but remember this is a cleanable reusable filter so you would not have to replace it that often unless it was damaged. I could sell you the unit for 319.99 through a paypal request if you have an account all I would need is an e-mail address. Amazon charges 13% for me to sell on there site I can pass the saving to you and save you a little money.
