Pentair Pentek 150071 Traditional Standard Filter Housing, 3/4" NPT #10 Clear Water Filter Housing with Mounting Bracket Cap and Pressure Relief Button, 10-Inch, Blue/Clear

I have used these particular units for 20 years and I have nothing but good things to say about it's performance and pricing. Great product!

Parecía buen producto, fuerte, resistente, de calidad, muy bonito. Pero tiene la etiqueta causa cáncer y problemas reproductivos "Warning-Cancer and Reproductive Harm". Por lo menos son sinceros en dejar la etiqueta de advertencia o porque la ley los obliga, y ya uno decide qué hacer. Mejor lo regresé, no me arriesgo, se supone que busca uno un filtro por salud lo que menos se espera es lo contrario, mejor nada. Lástima porque está muy bonito y transparente.

I am on a well and wanted to reduce the sediments getting into my plumbing. I had started noticing a film in my bathroom sinks and a discoloration in the toilets only after a couple of days after cleaning. I checked the toilet tank to see if the parts were rusting only to find partials of sediments in the bottom of the tank. So I knew what I needed to do. I had previously ordered a different brand comparable in price because it had brass threads on the inlet and outlet. It very slow leak from the top seam where the plastic was moulded. Rather than remove it I knew I could find a different one and have it delivered the next day. So I would return the other one once I got the new one. I ordered this one in hopes it was constructed a bit differently. It was very well made. I liked the fact that it has the clear canister and I can monitor the filter. Before I started I washed the housing and canister in warm soapy water. Then gave it time to dry. I used brass sharkbite fittings just in case I ever need to remove it. Make sure to use plenty of Teflon tape on the inlet and outlet. I used about 8 rounds making sure I covered the threads from the thread start to the shoulder. I ran the couplings all the way in to the shoulders with a good snug turn. A thin wall wrench is helpful due to the limited amount of space left between the fitting and the housing. I Ioaded the filter before installing and made sure not to handle the filter with my bare hands. This was to prevent any contamination. I went ahead and used a little silicone lubricant to the O-ring even though it had some from the manufacturer. When I turned the water on I noticed water seeping into the threads of the canister and gave it another snug turn. I got it to move about an inch. I went back into the house and ran water from all my faucets to flush the lines and filter. A few other reviews mentioned a plastic taste from the filter and I think running a few gallons through the system can prevent that. So far it's been installed about 3 weeks and I have checked it weekly and found no issues. My water is clear and no buildup. I liked the fact that they sent instructions for cleaning the canister with a diluted mixture of 3 cups of water and 2 tablespoons of bleach and rinse. Make sure to run some clean water into a container before turning off the water for the mixture and for rinsing. Use a silicone food grade plumbing lubricant to the O-ring when reinstalling the canister to make it easier to remove when the time comes. I had to order the bracket and it came with the bolts to attach the canister, but not for mounting. I also order the canister wrench and filters. I went with the 5 micron.

Great filters. Uses inexpensive filters...not like the Rainbird ones that use costly filters. I have 2 of these on my well as pre-filters in front of the main filter...you lose some pressure sure, but the I'd rather change a $2 50u once a month, a 2$ 5u twice a year and a $50 polyspun annually. These are very high quality and highly recommended.

Come with gasket only, that do the job very well , no restriction , Can see the sand, dirt and all the s*** that come in my alimentation.
