Upgrade Whole Water Filter Housing, 20 Inch Big Blue Filter Housing Universal Size Large Capacity House Filtration System, with Heavy Duty Steel Mounting Bracket, 4 Screws, Wrench (20"x4.5")

Seems to be a nice unit. Was simple to install. inclusion of some mounting screws would have been a nice touch. I installed it to filter bore water for my pool, so the install is a bit rough on my part but the unit seems to do the trick. Nice clean water coming through and no leaks from the housing. The ‘O’ ring is a little flimsy and could be more robust. Given the price it’s a pretty good unit. I am happy with it.

Good unit installed easily in about 20 mins used brand name sharkbite fittings in PEX 3/4" line. No leaks use 13 wraps of teflon tape which was included. Even came with spare pressure relief valve (not sure if this is a good thing ;-( ) Will test to see if 5 micron filter is catching the gunk that I suspect and know is present in our community well water. The reason for the 4 star is the bracket supplied is a little flimsy. A simple change in their die forming process by adding wrinkle gussets would add rigidity in the 90 deg. bend.

20x4.5 inch filter. The brass fittings leaked but after wrapping an absurd amount of tape around the threads it sealed up just fine. Otherwise it feels quite sturdy and should do the job just fine

Very Heavy Duty...

We have well water with heavy sediment/heavy iron. We have a 100 micron, jumbo, self flushing spin down sediment filter that is INCREDIBLY EFFECTIVE, then this canister with a 50 micron filter, then finally a standard size whole house with a 5 micron filter. Because our problem was at times extreme, this set up effectively corrected our issue. The spin down back washes every 3 days, this large cartridge we hose the filter once monthly, this has extended the life of the 5 micron to requiring a change about every three months. When we started, we had a standard spin down, with a 200 micron filter, going straight to a 5 micron. Both would clog anywhere between 2-4 weeks. The key was to increase the pre filters (spin down and canister) to jumbo sizes, and to make sure the initial spin down is back washed every few days, and your filter screen sizes are the correct micron. This is what worked for us, and we had a big issue. Hope this helps the next guy.
