I will be selling this filter to the merchants , depending on quantity £37 to £46 + vat .
We have shown our prototype to James Hargreaves plumbers merchants and they are interested. Also BES ,the online plumbing suppliers are wanting to take 1000 units as a trial order.
I have another boiler spares company , I import thermisters , safety relief valves , diapharagms , repair kits , fans etc. we distribute these products throughout the uk to independent boiler spares merchants.
All I am going to do is distribute them via our boiler spares company and all the boiler spares merchants will have them and then the likes of the big fish , like wolesley or travis perkins will be knocking on my door .
Look out for a company called trappex ltd . Our launch will be on the 1st of november 2012 .
Any enquires [email protected] or phone me on 07710230494 for any information.
.
Might be an idea to give some of the boys here one and then we can see how good they are.
what price will you be selling them at.
 
With the greatest of respect BSpare, do you not think that companies the size of Hargreaves and TP would just go directly to source if they found out you were simply a distributor? Bearing in mind Wolseley have the power to order 1000 at a time and stick them into stock, I think your supplier might just say hang on were in bed with the wrong company here.

When I was in Beijing two years back I was offered a spirovent (for trademark reasons obviously wasnt a spirovent) for £8 per unit and that wasnt even based on me ordering any significant volume, suprisingly no one would touch them with a barge pole based on that should something go wrong with a magnaclean or TF1 you know there is a huge company behind them to come out and fix/replace the unit and cover any costs associated from potential carpet damage etc. In your case should one filter bring down a ceiling, you will be liable for paying for the damage.

I don't want to put the dampners on you too much mate but Ive seen people fall at similar hurdles with other products and its cost them their original, profitable, business just to pay off the debts associated with bringing a product to market. Do yourself a favour and call Chris Adey or Fernox and ask them if they think it will work before risking your career on something.

Thank you for your opinion , I am not a distributor , buying from china . i have invented and patented this product .
This product will be made in huddersfield
I have pressure tested and temperature tested this product before going and showing this to a plumbers merchant.
I pitched this product to bes and james hargreaves , i took along a fernox tf1 and magnaclean , i should them there weakness and flaws , in return, i have capitaiised on this.
In fact if somebody did copy my patented design , i would love that ,opportunity to sue and make money.
 
Haha I like it, in that case my friend, the very best of British to you!
