So I have owned a spectrapure for awhile for my tank. Last summer I had finally exhausted my 3rd round of dual membrane filters. And so I bought all new filters because it had been awhile. Nothing out of the ordinary.
The total bill for replacing all of them was about $250 (dual RO, dual DI, replaced prefilters etc).
5 months later they were exhausted. Something that does not happen that quickly for me. Chicago has really good water too. My tap water TDS is going into the filter at 95 TDS. These things should have lasted awhile.
So I bought replacement filters (another $200) and submitted an RMA. Unfortunately, my RMA was declined. Most of Spectrapure filters come with no warranty whatsoever. I was a little shocked by this. I don't know of ANY other product that'll do that to you if it goes bad within 5 months. I can even return used oranges to the grocery store if they're sour. But spectrapure only has a warranty on a select few of their membranes. You have to make sure to buy the "Specraselect" membranes. Even though all the membranes on their website are Spectrapure brand membranes.
So, I just want everyone to know. If you want a warranty on $200 worth of filters to last more than 5 months. Make sure to buy the membranes that are twice the price.
