Yep, still 300 for LYN members. We are getting new batch of cartridges, would you be able to wait about 2 weeks or so? We now have an option for stage 1 iron removal. Can you send a photo of your stage 1 please?

P.S. possible to get 300RM price from Shopee through "make an offer"

I would say change all 3. 3 years you are really pushing it, it is disintegrating already. But your stage 1 looks really clean! I will PM you as soon as we get the cartridges. I hope end of next week, fingers crossed

We now have different type of stage 1 available, announcement is in the 1st post.

That is correct. We don't have regular stage 1 for now (receiving soon), but we have upgraded stage 1, this is why I did not open Shopee listing. Looking at your filter, you probably do not need updated one, this is why I think you better wait for old version. Scheduled delivery is Apr 28th, they pushed it back by 1 week due to delays at some ports

Friends, for a full transparency.

Temporarily stage 1 is still 1 micron but MADE IN TAIWAN, from our well trusted supplier.

Why is that? I will explain it here without blaming someone, since we are still in investigation and talks.

We had 1 micron USA NSF supplier for years. Last batch from them came  with absolute horrible taste and smell. So bad, that carbon could not stop it. I was completely shocked! After all, it is NSF and also their internal QC did not catch it. So we complained and they sent us the replacement. And it AGAIN had the same issue, this time worse. We then tried another USA supplier and got the same, but less smell (carbon could catch it). Apparently there was an issue with the base material (no worries, Disruptor uses different material).

I understand that anything can happen, but cmon, this is why we trust NSF, right? So we are now in 3-way talks with the supplier and NSF. Supplier is blaming us for "improper transportation and storage" which is not true, after all, we were dealing with them for 5 years, never had this issue. NSF is "collecting evidence", so they asked us to send the sample, asked the supplier to send the sample and we are still in investigation.

Anyway, our internal QC is able to catch all of that, we will not let anything bad slip past our QC so rest assured that everything is still in order, you are getting safe product with 1 micron 1st stage. I will keep everyone updated on how it goes with NSF. I believe their reaction is REALLY important to see. If they side with the manufacturer, then it is all just money grab. We have 0 interest in lying to NSF, so it is a good test.
