QUOTE I've been intending to buy a filter for a while now but until now haven't got around to it (too mean!!!) so thanks to the OP for the 'nudge'.
I did an interned search in my area (I wanted to see before buying) and ended up using these people:
http://www.avonsoft.com/system/index.html (edit: sorry you have to navigate around site to get price of Gravity Water filters) £64.60 plus the VAT totals £77.52
for the ATC (carbon) model
Compared to Greenshop, who charge £96.76 for merely 'super' not 'ATC super' sterasyl candles it was a bargain.
Safariquip charge £110!

For the candles Avonsoft charges 7" Supersterasyl - was £12.05 now £9.63 7" ATC Supersterasyl - was £14.08 now £11.26 for the candles, which seems a reasonable price.

So if you want a filter I suggest you do a local search in addition to looking at the national companies. Certainly in my area (Somerset) it appears to be cheaper to buy from a water softener company rather than an 'expedition' or 'green' supplier.
P.S. I bought 1/2 dozen 'candles' couldn't avoid a smile thinking of buying just 4!
P.P.S You have to be a child of the '70's to know what I mean about walking onto a shop and asking for 4 candles!

Haven't checked recent prices but at the time it was def. cheaper to buy from a water softener company than a 'green' or 'survival' supplier.
