REAL PRICE HISTORY — NOT SALE-TAG THEATER
Water-treatment brands love permanent 30–55% off banners. FilterTier tracks the real observed selling price over time, builds a normal range, and tells you whether today's price is actually low, typical or high.
TRACKED NOW
Ranges tighten as weekly observations accumulate. A single observation is labeled as insufficient history instead of pretending we know the market.
Aquasana
Typical observed range: about $2,600–$2,900
Typical / upper end
Observed low: ~$2,608
The $5,796 reference MSRP is not treated as the real comparison price.
View system →SpringWell
Typical observed range so far: about $3,600–$4,020
Typical sale range
Observed low: ~$3,615
Recurring sitewide discounts are treated as normal market pricing, not a special event.

Price tracking started; range not established yet
Insufficient history
Observed low: ~$750
Low purchase price, but replacement cartridges are a bigger part of the ownership-cost story.
View system →Aquasana
Base-system tracking started; UV/conditioner bundles tracked separately
Insufficient history
Observed low: ~$1,399
Like-for-like configurations are kept separate so a base tank is not compared with a UV bundle.

20 GPM pricing varies by standalone / GreenWave / Matrixx bundle
Insufficient history
Each size and bundle needs its own history because the included treatment stages change materially.
View system →Dealer systems
Dealer pricing is tracked by comparable configuration when public quotes are available
Dealer market
Dealer-only pricing gets a confidence label instead of an invented retail number.
View system →HOW FILTERTIER SCORES PRICE
The actual listed/check-out price we can verify for the same configuration today.
The tight band where the product normally sells after enough weekly observations exist.
The lowest like-for-like observed price in our tracking history — not an unrelated size or bundle.
Purchase + cartridges/media + UV lamps + salt + known major replacements. Cheap equipment can become expensive ownership.
If a product is always advertised at 50% off, the sale price effectively becomes its normal price. FilterTier only calls something a deal when the observed price is actually low relative to its own history.
UPDATED WEEKLY
FilterTier checks current manufacturer/retailer prices weekly, records like-for-like observations, and flags new historical lows or moves of roughly 5% or more. Bundle changes are kept separate so the data stays useful.
New historical low · meaningful price increase · meaningful price decrease · normal price range shifts · promo code that actually beats the normal range · configuration changes that make old price history incomparable.
