## Overview

The Pentair Pentek 150071 is a 10-inch clear water filter housing featuring a durable Styrene-Acrylonitrile sump for easy cartridge monitoring. Compatible with a broad range of standard cartridges, it boasts NSF/ANSI 42 certification, a reinforced polypropylene cap with pressure relief button for hassle-free maintenance, and 3/4" NPT ports. Designed for residential and commercial use, it ensures reliable filtration with a low pressure drop and easy installation.

## Description

The Pentair Pentek Traditional Standard Series filter housing (model 150071) is a 10-inch (#10) clear-sump filter housing built for residential, commercial, and industrial water filtration. Its standout feature is the clear Styrene-Acrylonitrile (SAN) sump, which lets you examine flow, performance, and cartridge life on site so you know exactly when to change the cartridge. The reinforced polypropylene cap is bracket-mountable and includes a pressure-relief button on the inlet side to bleed pressure for easier cartridge changes.The housing has 3/4" NPT inlet and outlet ports and accommodates a wide range of 2-1/2" to 2-7/8" diameter cartridges in the 10-inch length, so it works with common sediment, carbon, and other drop-in cartridges. It is rated to a maximum pressure of 125 psi (8.6 bar) and a temperature range of 40 to 125 degrees F (4.4 to 51.7 degrees C), with a low initial pressure drop of 1 psi at 10 gpm. The maximum dimensions are 12.63" x 5.25" (321 mm x 133 mm). Model 150071 is tested and certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for material and structural integrity, and is sealed with an EPDM O-ring and a 300 Series stainless steel button assembly.Please note the SW-2 wrench and the MC-1A mounting bracket kit are sold separately and are not included with this housing. For a leak-free installation, hand-tighten the sump and then add a quarter to half turn, and use thread sealant tape on the 3/4" NPT port connections.

Review: Very well made - 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.
Review: Beefy housings and no pressure relief valve to leak! - There aren't as many options for filter housings without pressure relief valves, but this one is definitely worth it. The pressure relief valves on just about any of these will eventually leak if you keep using them because they're not made well. I had to remove and plug the last one up because it wouldn't stop leaking. Then the old housing started leaking because of a hairline crack. The Pentek 150072 is much beefier than what it replaced - both the blue upper and clear lower housing are thicker and very solid. My only gripes are that you have to get the bracket separately (Pentek 150578 MC-1A Bracket for 3/4" 3G Filter Housings) and the female threads could be tighter. The first shot at installing this with CPVC fittings resulted in a very slow leak from the fitting on the outlet side even though I used plenty of PTFE thread tape with thread sealant and fully threaded the fitting into the housing. The second try was with brass fittings, PTFE thread tape with thread sealant, and fully threading the fitting into the housing resulted in no leaks. Even when the 3/4in NPT male fittings fully threaded there are still about 3/8in of the female threads exposed inside the housing. I'm not sure if they make 3/4in fittings with longer male threads (didn't seem to be any CPVC ones), but that would also help prevent leaks on the first shot. The filter housing screws smoothly onto the upper housing and compresses the o-ring nicely. It only needs to be hand tight to seal. There are nice protruding ribs on the housing that make it easy to grab and loosen by hand. A plastic wrench would have been nice but isn't really needed. All in all this is a solid housing that's a bit more expensive than other options, appears to be well made, and will hopefully last longer without leaking.
