Question 1: Does the required quantity of 150 Each mean 150 complete Item 4010 three-filter packs, with 4,000 referring to the system model rather than a separate quantity? Please confirm the required part revision, including whether 4010-a Gen2 is acceptable.
Answer: Our request is for 150 units of the required filters. Each unit is one box of three filters, since the manufacturer packs and sells them only in three-packs. They aren't sold individually.
