Question 1

Why doesn’t this come with the housing?

Accepted Answer

Hi,

The iSpring WDS150K should come with housing, but if you ordered FWDS150K, it will only come with the filter alone.

Question 3

Is this useful to use before a tankless water heater to remove build up in water heater for prolonged life of unit?

Accepted Answer

Protect your household appliances and plumbings from the scale. The patented scale inhibitor sequester calcium and magnesium, preventing your pipes from scaling and clearing partially clogged piping.
Prevent your pipes from corrosion. Our patented filter media inhibit corrosion, particularly iron, steel, galvanized, copper, and lead, by coating the surface of your pipes. The coating also helps to stabilize chlorine as the chlorine will not react with the metal pipe if the coating exists.
The filter is made of a patented scale inhibitor and is capable of filtering up to 80,000 gallons of water or lasting for 6 months (depending on inline water quality). The filter is tested by an independent third party to meet NSF 42/60 standards.

Question 4

What order should my filters be if I add this in addition to a 3 stage heavy metals system?

Accepted Answer

This purple or Anti-Scale Polyphosphate Filter (FWDS150K), should come before all filters, but just after your water softner. After the Purple though are these:

1. Anti-Scale Polyphosphate Filter (FWDS150K)
2. Sediment Filter (FP25B)
3. CTO Carbon Filter (FC25B) - Reduces Chlorine, bad odor & taste -- also removes sediment, dirt, sand & dust
4. Iron & Manganese Filter (FM25B) - Reduces iron, manganese
5. Lead Reducing Filter (FCRC25B) - lead
6. GAC+KDF Filter (FG25B) - Reduces Chlorine, Lead, Hydrogen Sulfide & odors

You'll have to decide after the sediment and CTO Carbon filter what you want to filter out. Testing your water would let you know. I went with #'s 1-4 in the exact order. Hope that helps a bit. If you call ispring, they are also very knowledgeable, but basically after the first 3, you can put them in any order from 4-6. #5 is only for removing lead only & #4 is the only one for just iron & manganese. Hope that helps. You'll have a slight psi drop, but very negligible. I also used Sharkbite for easy installation. Skarkbites are not included on any of these systems, unless you buy them that way. I also recommend to buy a block of wood to install these on. These systems are not horribly heavy, but heavy enough that you may want 2 people (you & another person) to hold it up while installing the bases. Hope that also helps.

Just an FYI for everybody. The rumors of plumbers saying SharkBite does not work is non-sense. They have been around for 20 years and I have one that's installed for at least 13 years now & still going strong.
