Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which Filtco filter to order?
 
 
Filtco's business is supplying superior quality replacement filters for chemical and biological equipment applications, so we make it easy for our customers to select the proper product:
  • Use the manufacturer's name and model number from the equipment's identification tag, purchase documentation, or manuals.
  • Use the part number on the identification tag of the filter being replaced (CAUTION! Some filters collect hazardous materials during use and should not be handled.)

What payment methods are accepted?
 
 
Online orders may be paid using a valid credit card, either entered via Filtco's secure server or via a telephone call to Filtco. Customers may establish a trade account with Filtco and receive online account credentials through which orders may be made and associated with their purchase orders. To establish a trade account, please contact Filtco. Alternatively, the online order form may be printed and mailed with a check to Filtco.

What about payment in currencies other than $US?
 
 
Credit card exchange rates are governed by the buyer's credit card agreement. Orders for trade accounts or cash payments are based upon LIBOR exchange rates at the time that the order is placed. Please contact Filtco for a quotation based upon other currencies.

What about sales taxes?
 
 
Prices shown on the web site do not include any sales taxes or VAT's. Filtco is required by law to charge sales tax on items shipped to Florida addresses, unless the buyer has a trade account and has given proof of tax exempt status. (To establish a trade account, please contact Filtco.) Orders shipped from our US warehouse to states other than Florida and destinations outside the US are not charged sales taxes or VAT's. Orders shipped from our UK warehouse comply with sales tax and VAT requirements of the specific destination country.

What about returns?
 
 
Filtco desires to make returns as painless as possible. All returns require a prior Return Material Authorization; please contact Filtco to obtain an RMA. Enclosures with each shipment state the appropriate returns policies and procedures for your convenience. Our general guidelines for returns:
  • If we ship you the wrong item, we will pay for its return and ship you the correct item via expedited means.
  • If you desire to return an item that you ordered, and it is unused and sealed in its original packaging, we will accept its return at your expense and refund your payment, less a 10% restocking fee.
