why is used filter more expensive than new

If you check the description on the "used" item, it is actually new in open packaging. Amazon is very strict on what can be considered new, and anything opened or damaged isn't new and has to be sold under another condition. As for the pricing, either that is the cheapest they want to sell it for, or other sellers listed theirs after the "used" piece was listed. Sellers have to manually adjust pricing unless they pay for certain software, and if you have a large inventory it can be time consuming.

We have two of the units and find that the filters cannot be cleaned and reused; instead, they must be replaced. It would be nice if re-usable/cleanable replacement filters were available.

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.

It's a filter & a pain. It's expensive & supposed to be replaced regularly.

The new one is made of fancy plastic and the old one has some metal. The new one is slightly sharper. Another major difference is that the old one has 77mm filter size and the new one had 82mm filter size. You have to be pretty finicky about image quality to notice the difference.

The 3-pack of filters is from a different seller. It's not uncommon for some sellers to have prices that are higher even if they'd selling a multi-pack. Always check prices carefully. I have been buying single filters. They last a LONG time for me though I am the only person using the pitcher. Hope this helps!

Replacement filter is $59. We recommend to replace it every 6000 liters or 6-12 months depending on the usage. Thank you!

Mine came with an extra filter that was included in the box. It's to replace when the first one gets old.

Hi - Yes, when I ordered mine, it came with the filter - everything I needed to replace the old unit. I hope this information is helpful!

Absolutely not. Re-usable filters cost 10x the price... This is a normal automotive type filter used in specific motorcycles.

not sure. The last ones I ordered were Berkey SSCF-7 7-Inch Ceramic Replacement Filters, 2-Pack. I picked them because they are reuseable stainless steel. and I think they were about $49. do a comparison first

1, but wow, the price went from $15 to $28 per filter, so it essentially doubled; I would look further. At first I thought that was for 2 but doesn't seem to be. Bad news; I was buying at $15 per, from this seller, for a long time...

of course filters need to be replaced. try reading the description of item before asking such rediculous questions.

It appears to be the correct replacement filter. I noticed they are considerably more expensive now.

Also, cost about $25 t0 $30 from iSpring. Free shipping and cheaper by the pair. They also sell sets of 3 years of filters except for the UV lamp. Best deal I have found.

When the filter gets old it will slow down, using a new filter will fix the problem.

the other person is correct. i checked my order and the filter and heater are separate purchases - the total cost is about $520 or so
