Product review (5 stars): OMG! Most expensive piece of rubber in history of mankind? ?
This is one of the nicest looking thin rubber washers with two holes in it I have ever seen.  It fit in the water softener and was perfect replacement for the original which had disintegrated into 100s of pieces.  As one might expect for an expensive luxurious  product this washer was well protected for shipping by being placed on a box which could have held 5000 of these washers when it would have fit just fine in a small envelope which could have shipped for far less money. I do feel a bit abused by "the man" after paying so much for a piece of rubber worth 2 cents and paying even more to have it shipped but what other choice did I have? At least it was still available unlike so many other appliances parts I need which have been discontinued for years.
