RE: [APD] 20 Years My Eye!

["S. Hieber" <shieber at yahoo_com>]

Lots of peole have diff experiences - or the things
wouldn't stil be around all these many decades.  yet, many
people buy these things and don't use them much or find
them too much of a hassle, what with charging and
recharging and flushing. So you can find lots of them on
ebay. 

Much harder to find the System One on Ebay. ;-)  If you
find the Vortex too much fuss and bother but want diatom
filtering, the take a look at the System One -- no fuss no
muss is one of it's primary virtues -- shorter run time and
more noise are it's drawbacks.

The Vortex bottle is pretty hard to crack. In the olden
days, when they were made of glass, they were easy to crack
-- and they were heavier to lug around. The jar on the
system one is made of the same kind of plastic as the
Vortex.

But you might just skip diatoms altogether and find that a
Magnum with the fine micron filter is adequate for those
ocassional polishes.
