150237 / HFPP-1-PR10 Pentek Big Blue Whole House 10 inch Filter Housing
Product Description
This Pentek 150237 1” #10 Big Blue filter housing with pressure relief is suitable for high-flow and heavy sediment applications. The opaque blue sump is made of reinforced polypropylene for strength and resistance to chemicals, and the black cap is made of high-flow polypropylene (HFPP) for stiffness. The black cap has 1” female National Pipe Thread Taper (NPT) threaded input and output connections and a nitrile butadiene rubber (Buna-N) O-ring to ensure a watertight seal. A pressure relief button on the inlet side of the cap releases pressure in the housing for changing filter cartridges. The housing can be used with a 10” x 4-1/2” filter cartridge (sold separately). It has an initial pressure drop of 1 pound per square inch (psi) at a flow rate of 15 gallons per minute (gpm), a maximum operating pressure of 100 psi, and a maximum operating temperature of 100 degrees F (37.8 degrees C). This filter housing meets National Sanitation Foundation/American National Standards Institute (NSF/ANSI) standard 42 for quality assurance, and is for use in various high-flow applications, including residential drinking water filtration, food service, and irrigation, among others.

Water filters remove undesirable particles, chemicals, and microorganisms from water by means of a semipermeable barrier, adsorption, or biological processes. They are made of densely packed synthetic or natural fibers that trap suspended particles, materials that block microbes or adsorb unwanted chemicals, or substances that cause a chemical change, such as acid neutralization. For most residential, commercial, and industrial applications, water filters are manufactured in the form of replaceable cartridges that fit inside permanent housings. Filtration systems typically consist of a series of two or more types of filters, each designed to remove different contaminants. The performance of filters is measured by the minimum particle size that is blocked, the percentage of particles or microorganisms that are removed, the downstream concentration of unwanted chemicals, the maximum flow rate, and the amount of water that can be filtered before the filter must be replaced. Water filters are used in a wide range of applications, including drinking water purification, swimming pools, industrial processes, and irrigation, among others.

Update 10/12/2017:<br />I figured out what was wrong. There was a UPC barcode label stuck under the threads. My only issue with the unit is that the threaded in/out fittings aren't uniform. I was able to screw the fitting further into one side than the other.<br /><br />Update 10/12/2017:<br />Something odd is going on. Doing some research, the filter for this housing should be 9 3/4" long. But my measuring tape is showing 10" long. How is this possible? This is probably why my housing is leaking! The filter I bought from Pentek is TOO LONG!<br /><br />Small leaks around threaded in/out fittings. I'm working to fix the leaks. In order to stop major leaking from where the blue housing threads into the black top, I had to use a TON of silicone. Applying a 'small amount' on the o-ring' created a flood. I had to fill the trough where the o-ring sits with silicone and push the o-ring down into the bed of silicone. Im still trying to figure out if this is normal from other buyers.<br />I tried several different methods. 1) small amount of silicone, 2) hand tightened, 3) used wrench to tighten... all led to major leaks. The only way to stop it from leaking was to apply a TON of silicone.<br /><br />I have no clue how other buyers were able to get a tight seal by only using 'small amounts' of silicone.<br /><br />See attached image for the directional spray of water on the wall prior to using more silicone. Ill update this review if I can get all leaks to stop.

My experience is that you normally wrap teflon tape around threads 2-3 times to ensure a leak free connection in plumbing. I tried that with this filter and it leaked a lot at both of the pipe connections. I wound up putting over 10 wraps of teflon tape around the threads and now it only has a very slight leak on one side. The leak at the other side stopped. These plastic threads have some significant problem because I can't get a water tight seal at the pipe connection. I can't tighten it any more because the fittings are screwed all the way in to the filter. Maybe I'm supposed to use 20 wraps of teflon tape? Also, the holes at the top to mount it in the optional bracket are not threaded, so I had to thread those holes to accept the bolts that mount it to the optional bracket. Good thing I had a tap and die set. It does filter the water though, so I'll give it 3 stars. You just have to leave a bucket under it to catch the drips.

Good filter, volume is excellent, but I'm giving only 4 stars as this needs the wrench to keep it from leaking at the seal.... it should be included!<br /><br />Add a wrench for a few dollars more.
