EcoPlus EP-600 Vs. Pelican TM (1) PC600 Vs. Aquasana TM (2) Rhino EQ-600
Our top competitors build good products, but if you take the time to compare, we are confident that you will see where our commitment to effective and efficient design (and the extras we offer free with each system) provide you with a simply superior product at a more economical price.
With ecoPLUS™, you will Pay Less and Get More - we guarantee it!
Many of our top competitors over-inflate their prices only to offer special "discounts" that can change day-by-day and even hour by hour. Their pricing policy is designed to reduce your ability to comparison shop and create a sense of urgency to buy while a sale lasts. We believe you should have the time to research our products, compare, and make an informed buying decision on your schedule, and for the same everyday low price with no surprises. We also offer 90 day price protection on all ecoPLUS™ systems, and we will beat any competitor's price on a comparable product, so you can buy with confidence that you are getting the best value for your hard earned dollar.
