Purolator Filter Price Hike?!?!?! Can someone tell me what the HELL happened.

I paid $5.76 for mine (a single PL14459 filter) and that is still showing as the current price. Prices on Amazon for many items seem to fluctuate somewhat from day to day. Monitor it for a while to see if it goes back down to $9.50 for a two-pack. Not sure what part number you're looking at specifically, but the price of this one hasn't changed at all.

Good question . I'm guessing that Culligan has changed the filter element/component for some reason . Mine is the same way and becomes progressively slower after about two weeks of use despite the fact that I replace the filter every thirty days . I presume it's because it is filtering and whatever is being filtered out is responsible for clogging the filter . The filter looks to be the same as previous filters but , as you pointed out , the slow flow has an unacceptable flow rate .I'll be looking for another filtering assembly next month .

Thank you so much! I'm going to check my manual to see if it's a Fast fill product or not, although the Refer. is a side-by-side.....I'm paying over $50./filter now through Sears's website, but won't now!!!

The price has jumped up. When I got mine they ere $40 for the two. May be that when I listed the 80 uses for it they decided they were not getting enough for it. LOL

It's been 4 months and my water filter still seems to be working great (2 person household.) Would be great if someone could post a link to a consumer reports type article about this subject. Of course the mnfctr is going to recommend faster changes than are necessary to get you to buy more. I just set up 3 month regular shipment from Amazon, to be safe.

Unfortunately, I think I do know the source of your problem. In August last year I purchased three filters from a vendor on Amazon. When I received them I noticed a few aspects that were different. The caps were red not blue; the filters were shrink wrapped rather than the usual cardboard container and; there were product information sheets enclosed. I contacted the vendor and he offered to accept the filters in return and refund the purchase. Since he seemed willing to stand behind his product, I kept the filters. About 5 weeks later I needed to replace the filter. When I installed the new one and tried to flush water through it I discovered the same phenomenon that you describing: I believe what both you and I saw is activated charcoal which being released. I would return the filter immediately. I was impressed with the integrity of the vendor that sold me the defective filters (I think the company name was something like Tune to Music). I emailed them immediately after installing the defective filter. He responded immediately by crediting my charge card and saying I did not need to return the filters. He explained that they were purchased from a supplier that for other reasons he was no longer affiliated with. I assumed that he got burned with defective merchandise from that vendor but made good on our transaction! In the past these filters had been in stock at Amazon and I never had a problem with them. When I replaced the defective filters, I again ordered from Amazon and the vendor actually filling the order was AtoZSales. The filters were LG OEM and exactly what I expected!

I feel for you. While it doesn't have to do with fitness products, I too experienced the price hike. Was looking for a decent laptop recently, finally found the one that sang my name. Had it in my wish list for a few days to mull it over, when I finally was ready to buy, the price jumped by $150. Ouch. Listed price wasn't a sale or anything either, so that was the real sad part.I guess January has become gouge month or something.

I noticed this too. Mine changed while it was in my cart. Glad I double checked! Over $8/box is ridiculous!

Yeah, big price increase. Guess I'm back to finding some other source. Really a big disappointment.

I'm wondering this, too. Every flavor in every size has gone up almost $5 on some! Really disappointed.

Total disssolved solids increasing after using the same water both times makes no sense. Have you used other waters before and got same results an increase after the purifier? Have you contacted the manufactuer with questions? You have to eliminate the distilled water first off as the problem and see if it does it with all waters. Surely you are not consuming distilled water on a regular basis?

I have no idea why the huge price increase, but I SURE AM HAPPY I bought mine in April, 2011, for $229.99. And, I am thrilled with its performance. Chuck

I have the older model of Oreck Air Puriifer, my store in RI sold the replacement filters for $50. (that is when I gave up on my air purifier) They used to see the filters at a reasonable price, but claimed the $50 filter would last longer. I no longer use it.

Hello, Increases in price are due to an increase from the manufacturer. Do you have the order number from the last time you ordered this product from us, so I can see what the cost was then.Thanks,Mark at Peters Select

I wish I had better news for you Raine. I had such a difficult time changing this last time, that I broke it and had to call a plumber. Even the plumber railed about the poor quality of this system. I am going to replace the whole system and get a different filtration system. Both times I've tried changing these filters I needed help and it kind of defeats the purpose if you aren't able to change the filter. I think that PUR has a model with an easier change filter. Good luck!

Yes, this is the filter that sits behind the cell. Just one in the pack. But I don't remember paying this much. Maybe the prices changed?
