We researched some lesser known brands that were higher quality, but kind of affordable
We bought and tested dozens of filters (relying on their guarantee terms) and many of them did some things great, but didn’t do everything we wanted
Again, we were left feeling Disappointment, Discouragement, and wondering if we were Delusional to think we can get a shower filter like this at an affordable price?
Over dinner that night Susan and I decided we’d give it ONE MORE TRY
Susan is much better at researching than I am, so it was her job to go deep, deep, deep down the rabbit hole and come back up with a filter that we now needed
She found a link to an obscure site...
On this site was an article about a shower filter that looked like it did everything we wanted
OH THE EXCITEMENT WAS BUILDING!
At least we had found something close to our list in someone else’s article
What really stood out to us was this one feature for effectively removing 99.9% of toxins, that we had never thought or heard of before - It was a head scratcher for sure
But we looked up this method for removing the most common toxin in our water supply and there is was right in front of us, all the proof we needed to confirm that this filter in the article was legit and beyond our wants and desires
After a few days, Susan had found the name of the company, an email address, and a phone number
We quickly sent off an email
Days go by, and no reply
I tried to call at all hours of the day but no one ever answered the phone
Then we had the idea, why not figure out how it worked and then just make one for ourselves?
Susan is an engineer and I am pretty resourceful, together we could do it
Right as we were getting settled in to start what could be a very frustrating project, we got a reply from this little company in South Korea that made the filter we wanted to badly
We were so excited to see their reply and then....
We were crushed again by what we read, in the most broken English email I have ever received
Basically what I could make out of it was that they did not sell their product in the US market and they could not send just 1 unit to us. It would be cost prohibitive
I kicked a box across the room in frustration, and then Susan said…
“They said they won’t ship 1 because it would be too expensive. But… What if they shipped us 100 filters? “
I thought she lost had her mind
“WHAAAAAAT Are we going to do with 100 Filters ? “ I exclaimed
And Then….
LIGHTBULB! - Brilliant
That was 16 years ago and we have been working with this same South Korean company ever since, improving the design, and advancing the technology
The one step in our filtration process that sets our product line apart from the rest, and makes our line the most complete, top tier, premium filter line at an affordable price, was first to market and actually established this type of shower filter is…
