Just make it for the screw in cartridge size filter blocks.

Don’t existing faucet filters already remove lead?🤔

[fruser1]

Cool, we can start using lead pipes again!

Cheap and easy to work with.

Where was ClockBoy on this?

[ducttape45]

Ping. I’m gonna keep an eye on this. I could use one, or two, or several!

They might be able to make them at a cost of $1 each, but after you add in packaging, shipping, warehousing and distribution, retailing, marketing, and general and administrative expenses, they will have to retail for upwards of $10 each.

It’s not cheap to get stuff from Southeast Asia to the American consumer.

The team’s goal is to make and sell their filters for less than $1 each, which Bushway thinks they’re on their way to doing. Because the housings use biodegradable plastic, the cost could trend a little higher, but the material would help reduce the overall environmental impact of the filter.

That filter idea is a wonderful innovation. But these idealists are about to get a hard lesson in market capitalism.

Overhead, fellas and gals: overhead.
