HMA Filter

Guys, is HMA filter different then a 3 stage water filter that you would buy from Costco?

I'm having a hard time locating"HMA" filter in Canada. Would this perform the exact same way?

Looks like it would work good. My question is how easy is it to get replacement filters and parts if you need them. I don't see it say what fitting it uses or if fittings are included

Costco so replacement parts wouldn't be hard. Looks and sounds similar to any RO/DI system to me. So instead of looking for an HMA filter look for an RODI unit. Reading the description of that filter it is an RODI.

HMA filters are similar but not exactly the same. They are more common in Europe, here in north america we use RO/DI systems

HMA is not like RO/DI as far as I've understood. HMA is more like taking an RO and removing the membrane portion. If I'm wrong I'd like to know.

Yes I also believe it's not Reverse Osmosis at all. Heavy metals are removed but not via Osmosis
