Guys,
Please understand I OF ALL PEOPLE UNDERSTAND I am a carpet cleaner everyday. What a lot of you need to understand is I have been selling these filters over the past 4-5 years for my cost to make them. $ 225-250.00. We have been working on improving them over this time with all the feed back from all of you that have bought them, selling them at my COST was a good price but it was also very helpful for me to be able get them out there and see how much abuse they REALLY go through in the REAL WORLD TESTING as I am a lot easier on my stuff than most.
We felt that the filter was as close to 100% as we could get it and went to my Fabricator and had it done. We are paying more than what we were selling them for.
Now we are also trying to get stores involved with selling our filter and with that comes a mark up to give them some money to make. We are going to give this a try and see how it goes, It may or may not work out we will have to wait and see. I can say if you do any research on any filter that has more capacity than a pool type filter they are @ 500.00 we have tried very hard to keep it below that.
My attitude towards guys that complain is this and it is no to be rude or disrespectful at all but this is my take. You are upset wit the price of 390.00 but yet you didn't spend the 250.00 and when they were 250.00 you were upset, so you were not really wanting the filter in the first place and that is okay.
It's like the people that call and ask how much is your min and you say $95.00 oh wow well so n so will do it for $55.00 and the next thing you know your cleaning the empty unit for the Property Management because they didn't spend the $55.00 either. So my point is I can keep listening to everyone and keep the price down and never make a dime or I can sell it for what it is truly worth as it has proven itself over and over, out performed filters that are more money.
Is it a must have item NO NO it is not, but for guys that are tired of smaller filters..getting to old and to wise to keep climbing in van to clean out waste tank and basket..burning up pumpouts, want to be treated with respect and not cut off from supplies. Then this filter is a good one to feel that purpose. It is only going to sell to guys that really want a filter and that is the sum of it.
We just had a customer call and ask us if we could make them a totally custom filter estimate to have it made 900.00 so you see it is just what you want to spend your money on or what fixes your needs.
I respect all of you guys and your opinions, and as always thank you for the support and helping me get the filter to what it is today.
We are going to be working on other things hopefully over the winter, and everything we make will be in High quality Stainless Steel. Mikey suggested something and Tim said yep no problem on that product.
We have just done the total for FREE FILTERS just this year is @ $4000.00. I am not greedy just trying to make a decent living.
