| I called the number this morning you gave for PowerSurvivor and
received the following info:
There are no dealers in the Boston Area. The closest dealers are in
Rhode Island, New Jersey, and Maine. The Rhode Island dealer was touted
as very knowledgeable. I didn't get the company name, but the person
and address are:
Jim O'Connor
1 Maritime Drive
Portsmouth, RI 02871 (401)683-0307
The Maine location is Maine Liferaft
36 Union Warf
Portland Maine 04101 (207)772-8095
The units sell for $1795.00 US currency. Replacement parts can be
purchased or an "Extended Cruising package" can be purchased for
$129.00 which includes 6 pre-filters (unit when purchased comes with
only two), a membrane kit, a repair seal kit and 10 packages of
biocide.
Assuming fairly constant use, you change the pre-filters once a month,
use the membrane kit and repair seal kit after 800 hours of operation,
and the biocide if you put the unit up for storage for 1 week or more.
Ordering is 3wks out unless it's an emergency order. There are
exclusive dealers in Europe (I assumed you were in Europe) and the U.S.
manufacturer was pretty adamant about only selling to "U.S.
individuals" or companies. If you wish to purchase one of the products,
you may try to work something out with someone in one of the above
locations or talk to the company contacts I listed above;
they may not be as adamant as the manufacturer! The closest dealer to
me (in Dallas Texas) is in Houston, about 280 miles away, so I may
not be the best source, though I will be happy to get any additional
info for you.
You can reach me at DTN: 486-6496.
Good Luck!
Robert
