Pet mountain has a lowest price guarantee policy where they will beat another online vendor's advertised price (scroll down on this link).

So if you called Pet Mountain and let them know of Big Al's $240 sale, you can get the FX5 for less than $240 and have a very happy :mrgreen:
Pet mountain also has free shipping on orders over $75 with coupon code FREE.

I bought mine at Dr. Fosters, their regular price is $239.99, so if you ever find one of those we beat anyone by 10% or whatever keep this link.

Damn, what good deals. I paid $250 on Amazon and it was the best deal around. Come on people, jump on this. The FX5 is the best and last filter you will ever have to buy!

Hi All,

Thanks for info, one happy owner and one happy :mrgreen: - well future happy :mrgreen: when filter arrives. I will say, I tried what was suggested and Pet mountain can not match Big Al's prices. However Big Als offers free shipping with the filter so its still a great deal at $239.99 total. Yeah!!

Also, at least right now, if you are looking for the 3 pack of fine filter pads for the fx 5 or the pre-filter media 750 grams, Big Als is cheaper on that and pet mountain will beat those prices. Its not nearly the deal on the filter but every little bit helps.

Thanks again. Im very excited!

You don't want to use any of the pre-filter media in the FX5. See here: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=30145#p288910

Thanks for the update - good to know pet mountain isn't honoring their printed price guarantee.

I should clarify. Pet mountain honored their pricing guarantee for all of the products except the filter Specifically in the case of the filter the manager was not authorized to go as low as the competitor. They did offer me the lowest price they were allowed to go and had Big Al's not had the free shipping Pet Mountain would have had the better deal.
