Great filter housing when combined with the correct filter.

This filter was installed in an irrigation system that's fed from a well. It filters any rust from the water that's used in a greenhouse. It's good practice to put a pressure gage before and after a filter or strainer. The gage after will tell you when the filter element will need changed

So I read that these leak and are nothing but issues. But I couldnt resist due to the price compared to other brands. I bought 6 of the 4.5x10 versions and figured people just werent really that knowledgeable on pluming. Let me tell you they definitely leak. The lower portion that holds the filter has a very small indent thats supposed to hold the o-ring and the head unit where the o-ring seals against is not flat finished so the basic supplied o-ring really need to be squeezed super super tight inorder to get it to seal. Also the lip is not substantial enough to hold the o-ring in place so you must be very careful. One came with silicon grease so I applied it to all the orings to help hold them in place. even then you may find for the first few days its leak free to later find your basement floor covered in water because it decided to leak again. Im going to try a silicone type o-ring (softer material) and see if it seals the imperfect surface better. The filter assembly is only rated for 75psi and 100psi max. My system is 55psi from the well and 75 psi from the internal pump. In order to tighten them I had one guy hold the fixture while I used a 30 ratchet to tighten it on TIGHT AS I COULD. As of now the leaks have stopped but I dont trust it.Pro; definitely made of solid material and looks as though theres a spot for a pressure gauge if you drill and tap it.

I've been using this system for 5yrs. During this last deep freeze, it busted, thus I replaced it. I was not impressed with the O-ring as it seemed just a bit too large. (Possibly stretched out). It took me 7 tryst before it seated properly with no leaks.

Very easy to install

Works fine. You have to use the little tube of grease that came with it on the rubber seal (just a thin coat) so that it doesn't “bunch” the rubber up, causing it to leak.

Just like Big Blue. Required a plumber to install but you may be able to do it yourself. The old one someone Over Tightened after changing the filter and even 2 plumbers with all the tools couldn't remove it. Had to be cut out.

This is a pre-filter for a water conditioner on a well system

We had an old filter casing that was leaking, and the O ring was stretched out. This came in less than 24 hours and made the whole thing work perfectly! The video on how to do it was helpful too!

Great quality constructed product.

Great flavor, I believe it's industrial blue lake 5. It is what it is. Fit and finish is great, huge filters capacity with many options. Plastic inlet/outlet has bleeder, BUT it's all plastic. No stainless inserts. It's plastic on metal pipe or male adapter.

no wrench

Hi, Great price, quick delivery was as advertised. I had purchased a whole house filtration system a few years back and it came with same filter canister. I bought this one as a back up because in case the the older one fails I can replace with this one. The company I bought the whole house filtration system wanted almost 3 times the cost of this one and it's the same canister! Very Satisfied:-)

Great price works great

I confirm it came in blue.

my old one leaked after 10-years usage, this replacement is solid and good
