WHB10 Whole House Water Filter Housing, Fit 10"x4.5" Sediment etc Filters for Well and City Water, Big Filter Blue Pre-Filtration System for Home, 1" NPT Port, Pressure Release

We have 'hard' water here that leaves spots, plus wife read a report about the various 'things' in the city water supply... so I bought a 'whole house' size filter to go in the water line to the hot water heater (already have a 'one faucet' filter for the cold water at the kitchen sink for drinking and the daily coffee pot) . While installing this filter I learned something... the water lines I installed going to our two yard faucets are all PVC... which use glue to fit the long pieces together and screw fittings in some places... when screwing parts together I have always used Teflon tape on the threads, which works perfectly . The filter I bought has metal threads... and I found out that tape does not work well... so I dug in the bottom of my supplies and found a tube of Teflon paste... I put paste on the threads of the external fitting that connects to the water line, and on the threads inside the filter housing, and screwed the two parts together... solved the problem of the 'drip' that was working its way through the tape covered threads (my guess is the metal threads were shredding the Teflon tape) I doubt I will ever work with something that has metal threads again, but if I do I will know that tape doesn't work well . I just installed the filter, so I don't know the long term results... but the filter housing is well made, so now it is just a matter of how well the filter element works (which is not part of this purchase, the filter element is a different purchase)

Excellent, easy installation.

Excellent build. No leaks.

I used this 4” filter can to replace a 25 year old model. While everything was sized and aligned as expected, I took off 1 star for the machining of the 1” threaded brass female connections. I had to use an excessive amount of Teflon tape to snug the connection enough. The first try, the ABS fittings, with normal taping, would not hold the pressure( about 50 psi). I glad I did not have to do it a third time.

Yes it filtered the sand an other particles as long as you get a correct filter for it not standard one. I have a well an needed to fill hot tub Just remember it’s a inch on both ends so you will need a reducer to 3/4 hot a hose

Works great, exactly what I was looking for

It is supposed to be a replacement for the Pelican housing which had developed a crack after 13 years. But the threads were different and it would not fit into the top cap. So instead of a $75 bill for the plumber to come out and change it, the pipes and old cap had to be disconnected, and new copper pipes etc installed--for $1100.

Purchase this is a direct replacement for a unit with a busted canister, was able to just unthread the old unit and rethread this back in, Perfect Replacement. The build quality seems a little better than the original one that I had comes with everything you need to install. Great 6-in filter kit.
