$126 for 6 replacement filters?? I grabbed a 10 pack of Kirkland filters for $30 a few months back which I haven't cracked yet since I'm still working with the 3 filters included with the pitcher. And these guys want $100 (on "sale") for their equivalent pitcher? That was $25 at Costco.

All for supporting Canadian businesses but these guys need to rethink the price point here, maybe add some gold trim or something to justify it. It's a plastic pitcher made from a mold, the filters use basic carbon filtering like the rest, then they add in the minerals which might add a few pennies to the cost. Aim for at worst 10% above the incumbent well known brands but they're not going to survive being triple the price point.
