I cannot get new filters for my Breas vivo 3 and I am getting scared.

Not familiar with your machine at all but I did find this below. Will it work?

Thank you. I don't think so, as it needs the particular filters for this machine (https://www.manualslib.com/manual/20180 ... 132#manual) and that shape and size are different. The Vivo 3 is not cleared by the FDA for use in the USA so they can't sell me anything here. I couldn't get replacement filters back when I was overseas where I got the machine. I am back in US for vacation, leaving again in about a month and a half.

The equipment dealer overseas is blaming the filters being stuck in customs. The Breas people in the overseas offices will not do anything to send me the filters and probably aren't allowed to even if they want to. Not angry here but I also don't know what to do.

Sorry. Wish I had better news but I don't. Only thing I found was an offer for the disposable filter for 1500 BHD which is horrible high price when converting to US dollars. UGH.

I just emailed them today and was like "Are you really charging that? Can I have a discount?" Who knows.
