Cool, they finally put it up. Twice as expensive .
Shipping is 20 bucks roughly.

The mcMaster carr is 10 bucks for shipping and the filter is five bucks.

I don't know why it's so expensive. They could literally slap two stamps on this.

I'm glad for this discussion. Has anyone used the filter from McMaster?

still wondering if it's safe :-D

$13 shipping for me, plus $20 for two … I’ll let everyone know how the McMaster goes!

The barb is NOT small enough for the trident sample line.

It’s the same size as the sample line OD, I’ll try to get a video but it’s pretty obvious when you hold them next to each other. These McMaster pieces will not fit.

You can try to contact Neptune and see if they would sent you one.

Speed Test​

I did but mine was for an RMA, my new retail trident box arrived with the filter broken on both barbs. Neptune mailed me a replacement under warranty. When I get it I’ll add the photographic evidence and comparison so we can find a not $10 filter.

Total cost for the above two Barb filters that don’t fit and shipping: $14. Donate to your local food bank in my honor if you found this information useful.

I did not ever end up getting a new filter yet but laughed out loud when I emailed Neptune before they added them to their site, $10 per plus their expensive shipping. The convenience factor I guess but come on man! This hobby takes every possible swipe at your wallet. Thanks everyone for their research/trials

Neptune ...

I laugh at them when they try to talk and be all friendly at the frag swaps.
Sure - we'll help - contact us - here's our email - anything you need - blah blah blah.

Alright so …
1) my retail trident had a broken sample line filter. D’oh. Contacted Neptune and next day they send a replacement, I sent serial and receipt with my first inquiry and that was that. Just arrived today via FedEx from Ecotech in PA (not Neptune office in San Jose,Ca). CS was great and super responsive.
2) pics, side by side. The McMaster is too big and now you don’t have to take my word for it.

What’s the next size to try fellow filter-aficionados?

Can you pop that filter housing open and just replace the membrane? You can buy disc membranes of any pore size you want and just replace them periodically. PES or PVDF membranes are probably both good options for material of construction.

 

[herozero]

Ok random question, do I need to prime the sample line after installing the filter? The line is already primed and setup which is why I ask.

Maybe? but that’s probably beyond the point of no return re: ROI on the filter replacement hunt.

To me its a better and cheaper solution though. No need to replace the whole filter assembly if it opens. You can buy 25 discs at a time for $8 and just replace periodically in the OEM housing.

Yes. There is a dead volume in the filter which will give you an air bubble in the line you need to prime to remove.

Figured but wasn’t positive, many thanks!
