$126 for 6 replacement filters?? I grabbed a 10 pack of Kirkland filters for $30 a few months back which I haven’t cracked yet since I’m still working with the 3 filters included with the pitcher. And these guys want $100 (on “sale”) for their equivalent pitcher? That was $25 at Costco.
All for supporting Canadian businesses but these guys need to rethink the price point here, maybe add some gold trim or something to justify it. It’s a plastic pitcher made from a mold, the filters use basic carbon filtering like the rest, then they add in the minerals which might add a few pennies to the cost. Aim for at worst 10% above the incumbent well known brands but they’re not going to survive being triple the price point.
Maybe I’m being biased because I grew up in Vancouver. But I don’t really think most people in Canada necessarily need a water filter…
Calgary here, we need it. We have very hard water, so have a whole home water softener installed, which does remove those minerals so adding them back in to drinking water isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Main reason we use a water filter pitcher in the fridge though, coffee and ice machine, there have been too many instances of our water treatment plant blasting a chlorine surge through the system which resulted in horrid tasting ice and coffee :)
That makes sense. Yeah, guess I’ll check my bias on water quality in Canada 🤣
