Printer Ink extortion technology now in your Fridge
Goddamn scumbags to pull this shit.
For real, it’s an offer you CAN’T refuse. The offer: buy one of their RWPFE filters for $50 every six months, or they shut off your water. No ice, nothing unless you install an unfiltered bypass.
It can be hacked to work, but still... this is some bullshit.

Re: Printer Ink extortion technology now in your Fridge
have you ever one time gone to get an oil change and not had a guy come in and tell you that you should probably have "____" replaced?
Honestly, I look at going to the doctor as the same thing. Those guys don't get paid unless they do something. sure they can charge for a "checkup", but there's no money in that. They have to do something, run some kind of test, or find something in order to get a bill going.
I never thought the "pay at the pump" idea would work for this same reason. How are they going to sell you anything inside, if you can get gas and leave without ever going inside?

Jeff Bezos is your friend. I buy our filters off of Amazon for a fraction of what the stores sell them for. Next day delivery with Prime.

Re: Printer Ink extortion technology now in your Fridge
The "pay at the pump" idea was the best thing ever. It's nice to pull into a station out in bumfuck @ 2am when the store is closed and still pump gas.Flumper wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 9:13 pm have you ever one time gone to get an oil change and not had a guy come in and tell you that you should probably have "____" replaced?

Re: Printer Ink extortion technology now in your Fridge
I didn't say I didn't like pay at the pump, i simply said that i never thought the stations would accept it since it slowed the number of customers inside the door. they don't make much at all off the gas prices outside.DandyDon wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 9:18 pmThe "pay at the pump" idea was the best thing ever.

Re: Printer Ink extortion technology now in your Fridge
Fridge probably came with a bypass cap. Screws in where the filter screws in. Then you can have the same quality water we had growing up. Unfiltered tap water.
My mom filters her dogs water. Then it goes in the yard, pisses in the grass, comes inside and licks it's privates clean.
But it NEEDS that filtered water.

That's a refrigerator I won't be buying any time soon. My well water is clear, clean and tasty as fuck. It doesn't need any filtration to begin with. It comes from the appalachian mountains in NW NJ.

Yes, if you read what I posted you would know this. I run a large commercial style filter (that is still cheaper than the fridge filter) behind my fridge to keep from having to replace the small expensive cartridge filter inside the fridge so often. I replace the fridge filter about once a year if it needs it or not, and the big one every cpl years.
