the cfs500 is an excellent filter, if you are careful with it it won't break. I have this filter for year an a half and it still works perfect. To bad I didn't replace the O rings, because I broke it there. I was in a hurry...

If I would have the money, I would use FX5s

and all those mods... I think they are stupid for people who have to much time on hands.

bought a cfs 700 couple weeks back from (an online company) , arrived in the mail and was broken (uv glas pipe), send couple of e mails and called without answers and never received a mail back. Does anybody know if you can cut the UV sterilizer cord and leave it in contact with water? it has an on/off switch for the sterilizer. Or anybody who ever removed the wires?
