All good news.
Well its always best to buy local produced goods, but sometimes one has to import to get the best.
My polygeyser is from USA and so is the MC-50 I think, I do have the Blue Eco pump and the Ultrasieve. they are not Danish but at least from EU.
I'm glad that Zac is making such a nice product, so You don't have to import his items.

Brian Kaminski, is Profidrum the most popular RDF in Europe ?
I would love to say yes, since it is the best. BUT it is very expensive and many buy the KC-xx.
But more are beginning to buy aquafortes drumfilters, very good quality and not so expensive.

But in England the profidrum is hot.
Vipertom- FYI Bridge Way (Norm) just posted on Facebook that instead of going to Japan this month, he is going to Amsterdam to train on these filters. He is working on negotiations there on becoming the US distributor. If he is not the contact you referenced above, you may want to drop him a line.
Having a "distributor" in the US and manufacturing here are two totally different animals. IF Castle and Carmel, a large distributor/wholesaler of pond/landscaping products is already the US distributor, I find it hard the believe that Norm from Bridgeway Koi would be able to become another distributor. For example, For a time, Water Arts Consulting was the US Distributor for the Ultrasieve units. I don't know if that's still true, but any wholesale/retail purchases of these products go through that sole distributor only. Also, Mystic Koi is the US distributor for EA products, like the Cetus sieve and the Nexus filters. So, regardless of where you purchase these products on a retail level, all wholesale purchases by retailers are made through them.

I was referring to Aquafortes RDF sold by Sibo, not the Profidrum, If you can get them (profidrum) they are by far the best I have seen. I think Aquaforte is a very nice # 2.
Best of luck with the Profidrum agentcy, but try to get the FlowFriend or Blue Eco Titanium too.

There is another manufacturer of the RDF filters. These guys started about 2 years ago as hobbyists wanting a RDF that would be alot cheaper but with the same or even better quality as the profidrum ones. That company is AEM. https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/AE...43161309092445 In UK there RDFs are called Easydrum..
Yes, and there was another guy with RDF with out using electricity at all. I still don't know how ???
