I am trying to find filters to fit out house water system. We have the following: http://www.aquativa.com/aquativa_prism_with_bioguard.htm

I'm sure it's just a generic relabeled system, so do not want to pay the $200+ for the company to come out and replace the filters for us....our house is on the market right now, and I just want to replace the filters myself......

If you're near a Sam'e Club they have a replacement set of filters for a WattsPremier RO that is under $30.

The replacement filter kit has a 5 micron sediment filter, 2 carbon block filters, and a final carbon filter for taste. The sediment and carbon block filters are standard 10" and that looks like what the Aquativa is using. The final taste filter in the kit is only a 6" and it looks like the Aquativa uses a 10" filter. Usually you can slide the plastic clips that hold the filter together to accomodate the shorter 6" one or ...

You can go to http://wattspremier.com/watts/showdetl.cfm?&DID=15&Product_ID=39&CATID=1

And buy the kit with a 10" final filter

You'd be betting $30 plus shipping but it looks like the Aquative uses standard filters to me.

As always, free advice is worth what you paid for it :)
