The sell them on ebay but I got mine from a local water conditioning company. With 1 cubic foot of carbon and installation it ran around ~$500.I'll get you a picture in a bit.

Thanks for sharing your set up. The system I got was a lot smaller, it's like the set up Mike T mentioned with the by-pass, for my use I opted for the one without the bypass.

BTW, does activated carbon remove chloramines?
