ANTI-STATIC BAGS
Some parts such as control boards and LED light boards are sensitive to static. These items are sealed in an anti-static bag that safeguards them from damaging static build-up. Once these bags are opened we are unable to guarantee that the item hasn't be exposed to / damaged by static build-up and therefore cannot be returned.  Back to Top ^

WATER FILTER TAMPER PROOF SEAL
Most water filters come from the manufacturer with some kind of protection, showing that the filter has not yet been used or opened prior to being purchased by the customer. Different manufacturers have their own way of doing this, sometimes the filters come in a vacuum sealed bag, sometimes they have a clamshell casing, others have a tamper seal over the area of attachment. Whatever the case, once this tamper protection has been damaged or removed, the water filter is ineligible for resale, and therefore cannot be returned. Back to Top ^
