There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I shopped around like crazy for something I could use for a whole-house filter system without having to pay the big bucks. I came across this product and read the reviews of some who did some pretty nice multi-stage configurations.
So I decided to buy two of these to make a 2-stage whole-house system with the first stage being the included filter (think it is 15micron) and the second stage is the charcoal filter.
Next I had to learn quickly how to solder copper pipe as I've never done it before. A few Youtube videos later I went to work on my system. In the process I discovered my main gate valve was bad so that is a bonus as I replaced it with a ball valve.
Now I want to Pay Forward by adding photos and explanation here to help others because those who did the same really helped me to decide to go forward with this product and project and it has been working for a couple months or so without any issues.
In the photos below, the first photo shows the valve arraignment that I went with after reading the comments of others here. I purchased 3 ball valves for this here on Amazon that had the wing type handles only because they were the least expensive. They work great. Valve #1 and #2 add or remove the filter loop from the system. When #1 and #2 are closed, valve #3 is opened to allow water to go to the house without the filters. When putting the filter system in play, valve #3 is turned off, and valve #1 and #2 are opened to cause the water to loop through the filters. You can see the complete filter loop 2-stage system in photo 3.
In photo 2, I added a coupling just after valve #1 and another just after the second filter. This is so that if anything were to happen to the filter housings themselves, I will be able to remove this stretch of copper pipe without cutting and re-soldering. I decided to do whatever it takes to make this a super low-maintenance system and I believe I achieved this.
Note: Be sure to press the red button above the filters when putting them into play just to bleed out any air. I do this actually before opening Valve #2 after the filters so as not to add any additional air into the house plumbing.
In the last photo, you see the complete system with the housing I built for it out of 3/4" plywood. This not only protects my system from things bumping into the piping (this is my garage, btw) but it provides storage for the filters and filter tools and additional storage on top!
As a last note, the water pressure coming out of my faucets and showers shows NO decline in pressure. If I didn't know for a fact that the filters were not being bypassed, I'd have sworn it was. And for extra giggles, I installed a nice RO system under the kitchen sink. So we have pretty good water everywhere in the house on the cheap!

The key thing with these is that the original o-rings are cheap black rubber and get compressed / leak quickly. The first time I needed a set I just ordered the Dupont replacements, which were way over priced. I have since measured and found that these housings use a standard 237 size o-ring (2-3/8 ID, 2-5/8 OD, 1/8 thick). Most recently I got a 5 pack of FDA grade red silicone ones elsewhere for about $6. Better o-rings for about a fifth of the price of the originals. Amazon has similar ones in a 10 pack for just over $10.

I bought 3 of these and modified them by adding gauges to the top of the housing. Gauges are the only reasonable way to tell when the filters need replacing.
I started by realigning the top bracket with the pressure relief valve (picture 1 and 2).
That gave me a good template on the opposite side to drill a 7/16 hole (use a drill press to get a straight hole - picture 3).
Use a 1/4 npt tap in the hole Hanson 8203 Tap 1/4-18 Npt Taper for Tap Die Extraction
(picture 4)
The finished product (picture 5) with the hole drilled and tapped.
Connect the three housings using two LASCO 17-8669 3/4-Inch Male Pipe Thread Brass Hex Nipple
Install gauges. I used Winters PEM Series Steel Dual Scale Economical All Purpose Pressure Gauge with Brass Internals, 0-100 psi/kpa, 2" Dial Display, +/-3-2-3% Accuracy, 1/4" NPT Bottom Mount you could use fluid filled gauges, but I didn't see the benefit of the additional cost.
Using a good thread seal - NOT tape - such as Rectorseal 23631 1/4 Pint Brush Top T Plus 2 Pipe Thread Sealant
The final product pictures 6 and 7. Total cost around $100 and a small amount of work. It beats anything else you will find.

I changed the filter at the 1 month Mark now. Why? Just to see if there was any difference. The filter housing removed with ease (make sure NOT to over tighten it) & was clean. Did I notice a difference in taste? NO. So my filter was still good. All depends on how much water it filters & the type/make/model of filter u use. I’m super happy with this purchase!
