Kinetico

@ Costco

The dealer who was at Costco:

Kinetico's main company website:

According to reviews, Kinetico is the "Rolls-Royce" of water filters. The main complaint about it is that it is expensive. I couldn't find complaints about its function. Apparently the water pressure is very strong even with the filter. A major concern some people expressed is that you can only get the parts from Kinetico, so there is a limit to who can service their water filters. If the local dealer goes out of business, it may be difficult to get parts. There was one person who found that costs of repair work is not covered by the warranty, only parts are covered. That case seems to be in the US, it might vary in Canada.

The perfect tub

Acritec's showroom on Main Street only had the bigger version of this, so that was the one I used for test-lounging. It was very comfortable - the back support was just right. The construction and craftsmanship appears well-done. The only problem was that it felt too big. I felt like I could almost swim in it. This is not good since I want to lounge in it, not swim in it.

So getting the smaller version (Victorian I) should be just about right. It would be the same manufacturer and the same overall design, just slightly smaller, so I can't go too wrong with this choice.

The suggested retail for the Victorian II is $1420, homedepot.ca has the Victorian I in their online store for $1022 (the Victorian II is $1238). More to change the feet to brushed nickel ($1310). $87 shipping (ships directly from the vendor and takes about two weeks).

Edited to add: Hillcrest Plumbing Discount Centre near Ripples Kitchen and Bath on Main Street had the Victorian I on display last time I was there in March 2010.
