Sorry. Typo there. The correct number is SW30-2521 not 2520. Dow's
MSRP for the SW30-2521 is $250.00 and the srteet price is as low as
$153. Lowest price I have seen so far is at:
http://www.bigbrandwaterfilters.com/membranes.html

The 2520 is a custom length that I think only one or two WM builders
use. I don't remember which but somehow I associate that size with the
one with the titanium head pump.

Take off $700 from the purchase price for the replacement of the
membranes. The broker may have prevented bacterial growth but he has
ruined the membranes. They are long gone. Chlorinated water is death
to RO membranes.

If they are standard 21"x2.5" membranes you can get Filmtec SW30-2520
membranes for about $200 each but don't tell the broker that. Have him
call Pur and get their ridiculous price. :-)

Looks like you did my research for me.. I have been considering adding one
or two more membranes to my HRO sytem (it will handle up to 3 but currently
has only one).

The membrane prices look good to me, now I need to find the pressure
vessels. Do you have any recommendations or words of wisdom on these??

Research is my middle name. :-)

There are two basic types. The white ones with black ends are made by
A&M Composites in Houston. They have about 90% of the US market. The
ones with the molded flair ends are made in Europe and are a good bit
more expensive.

Pacific RO has the best price I have found for the A&M vessels.

You need the 1000 PSI 2.5x21 model at the bottom of the page. Hint:
They don't like working with end users so sound "official" when you
call. ;-) And don't mention my name. They got a little POed after
they visited my site and figured out I was not really a "dealer".
