Title: PureFlow Purification Pak.....How long does your last?
Post by: Epoman on February 15, 2007, 12:17:30 AM

I got the #5 alarm informing me I need to change the pak before I create a new batch. Damn I have only made like 6 or 7 batches. NxStage claims 12 weeks, I was told average is 8 weeks. But I got less than 4 weeks on my first pak. :o >:( This sucks, so long do you get on you PureFlow Pak?

Please post and vote in the poll.  :thumbup;

The majority last 3-4 weeks. This is my experience being on the PureFlow for 5 months. I also verified this with NxStage in fact that this is the average.

I'm not sure mine was a fair test because I just swapped my Pak because I had to swap out the CU. So it did only last three weeks but I don't think it was exhausted. I'm starting the clock again - my Pak #2 went into use today.
