Why not ask you local retailers to pressure Watts into carrying them. I spend $600+/week with Watts, and I'm sure other retailers spend a heckuva lot more, so input from us, the retailers, might be considered if they want to keep selling to us. Send the list a list of the specific labels you're referring to. Dave
