Waterbox RODI filter sizes

silent1mezzo · Jul 17, 2023

Does anyone know if the waterbox rodi filters are the regular 10"? Can't tell if I can use other types or if I have to buy their replacements

Knowing them they probably takes their own special built re-placement filters. I'm just speculating though.

That's why when I was looking for my own rodi system and people were saying to go on to Amazon I couldn't for certain know if I could buy replacement cartridges or not so I just ended up getting a system from BRS.

Ya unfortunately can't find the BRS systems for a reasonable price here in Canada. Waterbox is like $100-200 cheaper than the rest but not if I can't replace it with common filters, resin, etc...

Yeah I'm from Canada as well but luckily I cross the border every week for work.

They always have their rod systems on sale almost weekly. I got the 4 stage value Plus and with the exchange rate it came up to like $312 CAD

Give water box a phone call, oh that's right I forgot they don't take phone calls. Jump on to the US site and see if they have a live chat and ask them. They'll be able to tell you for sure.

You should be able to purchase them from there Website, but if not you can always reach out to one of Aquafx's Canadian distributors (Aquarium Depot) .. Im sure they will do the trick!

So I went ahead and ordered the 5 stage. It's just a rebranded aquafx for $150 cheaper (at least here in Canada). Haven't set it up yet but pretty excited.
