Please clarify this comment. If they don't fit Nova, what good are they? Or are you simply providing a cost comparison? I would think you could buy similar cannisters somewhere for less.

To put new canisters on with filters, the cost is almost 400.00. He told me it was from water pressure surges. I informed him that the pressure was always at 80, 10 less than the maximum permitted pressure, and I don't believe surges would cause this issue. The warranty was only for a year. I feel their equipment is of poor quality. I called another company that is installing a filtration and softening water system at this moment, and it has a lifetime warranty. Wish I knew this issue that I have been told is a well-known issue with Nova systems three years ago.

To clarify, there is no way for either Nova or the OP to know what pressure the canisters experienced, unless the water pressure was constantly being monitored. Sometimes there are pressure spikes that can exceed 125 psi, but it is impossible to determine if this ever happened. It is pure speculation.

When getting my filters changed last month tech advised one canister was cracked, suggested replacing all three. Told me new ones came with 3 yr warranty. Scheduled replacements, canisters were $90 each installed, or $270. That did not include the filters. Mine were six years old.

Agreed! And that's the problem with this whole topic. But don't you agree if there were these pressure spikes that the homeowner may see other indications in their water appliances?

I’ve had Nova filter system installed for about 12 years and never had a problem with them. They change my filters every year. They are prompt and professional. Very satisfied customer.
