PUREPLUS40 Micron Whole House Spin Down Sediment Water Filter With Scrapper, Reusable Flushable Pre-Filtration System for City/Tap water, 1" MNPT + 3/4" FNPT + 3/4"MNPT, Brass, BPA Free, USA Tech

The 3-4” inch fittings are tough to install without the correct tooling. I had to get creative, not to mess the threads up. Other than that good to go.

Reducer fittings leaked. Turned a 30 minute job into several hours going back and forth to hardware store to get fittings that worked. Works well after getting past that problem.

This was very easy to install if you've done any sort of plumbing before. I put this inline with my water supply coming into the house; this sits right after the main shutoff and before any breakouts to various sources; after this, I run lines to the garden hose and to the water softener. Then I have a carbon filter after that, and the lines run out to the hard water supply in the house (which is cold water to faucets).Here's the thing: Our underground pipes are galvanized so between them and the crappy city lines, they shed a lot of debris into the water. This thing filters out all the big and medium chunks so that my water softener doesn't have to and the garden hose doesn't get it, and then farther down the line, my carbon filter doesn't get prematurely clogged up with chunks and goop and lasts a lot longer. This doesn't require anything more than a flush every so often so it costs me nothing once installed. Highly recommended.

I bought this spin down filter with a 40 micron screen. After half of a day of water running through it, I ran about a gallon of water to clean the screen and this is what it got. This will definitely help keep the other filters cleaner for longer.

I did ask a question regarding a support or holder for the unit, but didn't get a valid response. I bought the filter and it does indeed come with a holder of sorts. A "C' clasp with a pre-drilled hole for mounting to a wood stud or similar support. Plan to use this as a pre-filter for my 5th wheel. It it is very well made and I like the rotating screen cleaner.
