Pentek 150237#10 Big Blue Filter Housing, 1" Female NPT Inlet/Outlet

These 10-inch Pentek enclosures are a perfect size for a whole house filter. It has 1" inlet/outlets but they are easily reduced down to 3/4" with a reducer or a bushing, if required. There is also a 3/4" inlet/outlet model but make sure that the prices are similar, because the price of this 1" model was much lower than 3/4" when I bought it. The filter housing itself is very well made and the pressure relief button on the top is key to "no mess" filter changes. You just have to make sure to not over-tighten the housing when you install it (see instructions) and you should be all set. By the way, this filter housing accepts 4.5x10" filters and if you only have one filter housing for your house, you can get dual-density filters for improved filtration. Search Amazon for Pentek DGD-5005 and Pentek DGD-2501. We're on a deep well and the finer DGD-2501 model lasts about a year before we notice the pressure drop. Pentek DGD-5005 is probably sufficient in most cases though and will minimize the need for filter changes. ------------- If you found this review helpful, please let me know by clicking the "Helpful" button below.

This unit is part of my water purification system. I already have a Pentair softener, and it has been working well for some time without any issues. It is also worth noting that many filter housings include marketing claims, but they are not NSF certified for material safety for potable water—this one is. I have never done plumbing before, but I was able to complete a decent installation. Currently, the setup is as follows: well water first passes through a Rusco sediment filter with an auto-flush valve (which I configured using a normally closed ball valve and a timer), then through the Pentair softener, and finally through a Big Blue filter. For the final stage, I am using the Pentair Pentek EP-BB Big Blue Carbon Water Filter (10-inch whole-house carbon block replacement cartridge with bonded powdered activated carbon), which is also NSF certified. The Rusco sediment filter is auto-flushed for one minute every day. After the job, there were zero leaks. So, I am very happy!!!!
