So i just realized that the price for the UC systems does NOT include a chiller. Where does the high price come from? Uniseals range from 3-6 bucks each, depending on 2 or 3 inches versions. The pipe is cheap. the buckets are/seem to be molded/injected plastic you can buy from china or the phillipines very cheaply. the air stones are under 10 bucks each, netpots are cheap. I just dont see the value, when compared to the retail price.
I know they work, and are badass, but you can build them yourself. for 1/3 the retail price.
I am just amazed/stunned/flabergasted that even at $1200.00 for a 8 site system, you can build 3 for the same price.
If i didnt have medical bills i could easily afford to buy UC, but come on.....
UCHQ: please let me know what your company does for patients that who do not deal with the wholesale or retail end of caregiving, please.
Don't forget to add the price for the air pumps and water pumps, lids and diffuser, as well as the extra little seals and hoses. Then add up the time spent persicely drilling all the holes, cutting pipes and designing the system.. Oh yeah I guess you could just jack them for their knowledge and work put into these badass systems.. Every other type of system is overpriced along with a
high majority of other shit in this world. One thing is for sure, if you use the system your money comes back to you. There is always soil.. Besides, all the benefits outway any negative that's for sure.. Don't get me wrong, I was also
very hesitant to make the move over to the UC side of life after seeing the cost.. After a long road of researching and weighing out what I ultimately
wanted I decided to jump in the water.. ;) One pull later I sold the majority of my other equipment and bought another UC.. After getting my package in the mail and opening up the box I was very pleased seeing the quality equipment
the UC came with. After adding up the cost of everything I wasn't as shocked at the price.. Yes I can build it cheaper, I also have a lot of other things to do
with my time that can pay me much more money.. not to mention I love supporting the few of the others out there pushing the same movement as myself. If I could do it over I would probably order it bare bones.. Not to save the money but to build to my own size..
Big ups to the UC crew for the knowledge they share that comes along with buying the system as well as all the work and effort put into changing growers lives for the better..
