I think you have the same pre filters as me Ian.
Get a load of the ones on your link and a matching load of ^^^ ones. These are VERY cheap mate. You have a 40 inch RO nd you will have a sediment and carbon filter in your pre filter housings.

The ones in the link in my post and a matching number of the ones in the link to wintecs in your post. The ones in mine are 5 micron sediment (Or debris) ones and the ones in yours are the carbon block ones. A set of them is just what you need Ian. At that price get yerself a year or two's worth.

Cheap usually means nasty and nasty will knacker your membranes in no time. It is very easy to get hold of cheap prefilters but they are useless and spent in a week or two, you wont notice the effect untill your membrane has had it in 6 to 12 months sometimes sooner - you will start to notice production and quality dropping off in an alarming rate. Buy second rate prefilters and be prepared to replace your membranes on a regular basis. Decent prefilters protect your membranes and keep it going for years.

I replace my perfilters monthly ;) I dont need to but for pennies i know it is working right ;)

Very wise - but even so, if someone were to do the same buying trashy prefilters their membrane life would still delept 75% faster than if you used decent ones... and that is changing them every month! most leave them much longer and wonder why they need to fork out for new membrane every year.

foxman even though i agree with what you are saying in a roundabout way, how do you know these filters are not the same as the ones you are buying at 4/5 times the cost ?
also where in the world did you get that it would deplept MEMBRANES 75% FASTER?
unless you make these or you know something that I dont, I think you plucked a number and thought that sounds good lets add that, sry dude I am not trying to knock you but please back this up and say I am writting rubbish, i honestly think you cant back this up in any way so therefor a totally worthless post, if i am wrong i will eat my words and add a post to say I was wrong on this one ;)

I know because there are only a couple places companies buy the filters from. I also know there have been a batch on sale going for next to nothing (we've been offered them for 30p each) because they only last around 3000 litres before being useless, so the 75% figure is based on you buying a trashy filter once a month but as that filter is spent with in a week you have 3 weeks were it isn't doing anything. You do the math.
The simple truth is there are a number of suppliers around who know nothing about water purifcation as they have never done it (just ask them what experience they have in using WFP and systems 75% will say none) - they have simply seen a market and decide to get in on it with 0% knowledge, so when they are offered rubbish at a cheap price they think its a bargin. There is a reason for it being so cheap!

the carbon filters that wintecs sell are longlife lasting about 40,000ltrs, for £2.89 + VAT I think that is a bargain, also the sediment filters are so cheap you could replace them 3x as often as the 'premium' brands.
