Hi Eric,
I am just in process of ordering membranes for my D60 dessalator. The price of SW30-2540 on the site you have in your mail is very affordable. What is your experience with them. I would need membranes in Slovenia, EU.

I know that. Question I asked is due to significant price difference for the same product from different suppliers. -- Slavko SM 2000 #279 Bonne Anse in Portoroz

some suppliers enjoy more profit, others less😀

Except, from what I have been taught by THE MASTER, you have a SPECTRA
water maker. Then the length is slightly shorter and you are forced to buy from SPECTRA
☹.

😀 Filmtech makes special-length membranes for some watermaker manufacturers. I assume that the reason some watermaker manufacturers would want a membrane that is slightly shorter or longer is so that they can charge you a lot for the membrane.😀
The most common size saltwater membrane is the SW30 2540 (2.5" X 40") which is sold for near 200 euro. Of course, you can buy the exact same Filmtech membrane from some suppliers for as much as 600 euro. It's your choice, but you will receive exactly the same membrane.

Our previous boat had a Village Marine watermaker installed. It required a special sized membrane. Expensive. I replaced the membrane housing and membrane with a standard, buy anywhere size. Capacity didn’t change at all. Very happy with the switch. ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

I recently purchased them through an Amazon site, Wateranywhere, and they arrived quickly and were very affordably priced. As Bill R says, they are Dow Filmtec, so I am not sure how they would suffer from a quality issue that wouldn’t affect all sellers. Mine were for the Duo 100, which uses the Sw30-2521.
