iSpring Whole House Water Filter System, Highly Reduces Sediment, Taste, Odor, and up to 99% Chlorine, 3-Stage w/ 20-Inch Sediment and Carbon Block Filters, Model: WGB32B, 1" Inlet/Outlet

Be ready for a gorilla. This thing is pretty big and it’s ready to destroy any water issues you have. We purchased this recently and it has improved our home’s water by a lot. So much that we just ordered an under sink unit for perfect drinking water. Don’t get me wrong, the water is drinkable after being through this gorilla, but we wanted MORE. Can’t say enough good things about this system. Don’t forget your pre-filter. Cheers!

We live in a small town that has experienced frequent periods of discolored water for decades. We'd see it in our toilets, sinks, and bath tubs, knowing it is in our food as well. It would last a couple days and be gone. We purchased a 10' x 10' x 30" kiddie pool for the grandchildren, set it up, filled it, and the water color was disgusting. It was almost the color of tea. We drained the pool, washed it out, and purchased a small filter that attaches to the garden hose. Refilled the pool again and the water was again discolored, but not as bad. Drained the pool again and put it away until we could resolve the water issue. We didn't need a water softener, nor did we want the purchase and upkeep expense for those types of systems. We did research online and found that iSpring filter units kept popping up as one of the top three best rated whole house filters. They're competitively priced and installation looked straight forward. We found the unit that we believed best suited our needs and purchased the model WGB32B unit off Amazon. This unit came with three filters; 5 micron particulate and two carbon filters. It arrived in a few days, and after reading the instructions I decided to install it myself. Our house has CPVC water piping so that made things easier. A trip to the hardware store for $50 worth of pipe and fittings and we were ready to be "plumbers". I first mounted the manifold unit (minus the filter housings) securely to the wall next to the main water supply line. Don't skimp on secure mounting as this unit is fairly heavy (maybe 40 lbs dry), even with out being full of water. I laid out the piping and fittings in the configuration I'd draw up before starting, cut the piping after some measuring, and "dry fit" (not glued, only hand fastened) everything together. After some adjustments, I shut off the water main, drained the pressure, and as much water that would drain. I cut into the CPVC main line at a predetermined place, drained residual water, dried the piping off, and started installing the piping and fittings, gluing them together starting at the main water pipe and working my way around the filter piping system. Once together, I allowed the glue to cure for an hour. While waiting for the glue to cure, I installed the cartridge filters into the housings and installed them onto the manifold, snugging them with the included wrench. After an hour, time for the leak test. I had all faucets in the house open. I slowly cracked open the main water inlet valve and slowly closed each faucet in the house. I could hear water filling the cartridges as the air was being pushed out of the system. Once the air was purged, and all faucets closed, the system came up to full house pressure. No leaks! I closed the filter bypass valve and we opened the closest faucet to the iSpring system and allowed water to flow for 10 minutes as instructed in the directions to flush out any carbon particles (didn't notice any visual carbon particles). Checked for leaks again. All good! We ran water in each faucet to flush the house system for about 15 minutes. Checked for leaks AGAIN. All good. Still not leaks. A couple installation notes: 1) For the threaded connections on either end of the manifold, I used 12 wraps of Teflon pipe tape AND a coat of good pipe sealant on top of the tape. The instructions said this could be a leak point, so I took no chances. I carefully tightened the adaptors into the ends of the manifold. I did not "bottom them out", but was a few ticks tighter than "snug". The manifold is a type of heavy plastic. I was using PVC fittings, but if you're using metal, be careful. Over tightening could crack the manifold. 2) As stated above, use heavy hardware to fasten the unit to the wall. I used a 2" x 10" board screwed into the wall studs with nine #9 x 3" deck screws, then lag bolted the manifold to the the board. The heavier the better. Do not use wall anchors in drywall! Do not use small screws such as drywall screws! If you have to, build a mounting bracket. 3) I installed a low point drain on my system. When it comes filter changing time, I wanted to be able to close the inlet and outlet filter valves, open the bypass valve, drain the pressure and and much water out of the manifold as possible. I can also use this as a low point drain for the house system if that's ever needed. I encourage you to do this as well. 4) I did not install union fittings in my system. This would allow removal of piping without the need to cut the pipe. If I had anything that I'd change, that would be it. I trusted my threaded sealant and gluing, but any leaks and I'd been cutting CPVC pipe out to fix the leak(s). We've only had our iSpring system up and running for one day, but we could tell a difference immediately. The water in our white porcelain toilets is actually CLEAR. It'll be interesting to see how long the particulate filter lasts in the conditions we experience with our city water. I expect 6 months with our city water condition. We shall see. I registered the iSpring system online. I received an email from Sean within an hour thanking me for the purchase and telling me to contact him with any questions I might have about the system in the future. So far, we couldn't be happier with the iSpring system. I am confident we made the right choice and look forward to not worrying about the water we use and consume.

Over the last two years, the quality of the water from our well has been getting worse and worse. Our house is in the middle of a small horse farm located in Central Florida. Recent high demands on our Floridan Aquifer combined with heavy localized rains has resulted in changes to the quality of the water in our well. The water here is already very hard, but now it has more particulate, is heavier in iron and clay, developed a strong sulfur smell, and on bad days is actually very brown in color. To overcome this situation we purchased the WGB32B. I then noticed that iSpring offered an Iron/Magnesium filter cartridge so I purchased it separately. I installed the 3 filter system along with an iSpring Spindown Sediment filter last week and WOW! The water in the house is now clear and free of particles, discoloration, or smell. I will be taking a sample for testing to compare with our unfiltered water test later this week and will post my results. When the filter system arrived, I was very surprised with the quality of workmanship that went into building the system. Parts are heavy duty and extremely sturdy. For the most part, the filters were easy to install, and Don at iSpring was always available to help me when I had questions. I highly recommend this filtration system to anybody who has similar water conditions as we do.

Product: iSpring WGB32B 3 Stage whole house filter. Date installed: June, 2022 First Filter change: May, 2023 (note house is barely used from Nov to May, seasonal log cabin) Upstate NY, well water Filters: Sediment filter => GAC+KDF filter => CTO Carbon filter Professional plumber install - paid $800, well worth it, they have the tools, they have the skills, they have the patience, well, most of the time. To do it over again: would 100% get the Spin-down filter to lessen load on sediment filter. May still do this but may not have room. Nick, if you're reading this and seeing the pics, what do you think? We research every major purchase, whole house filter was a major need. Built a log cabin on a small lake in the Adirondack park in upstate NY. Well drilled about 200'. Water is potable, tested several times, but there was some flakey silver particles and other sediment in the toilette and clogging up the screens. Water tasted just fine but needed to get rid of this sediment. We looked at several companies and settled with iSpring for the sheer quality of their product and the amazing customer support. I dealt with Nick in the beginning of the purchase process and he guided me to the right product and the right filter combinations. Nick is incredibly knowledgeable, patient and understand customer service and a good dude. Was going to give it go to install it myself as there are good videos out there but went the professional plumber route and glad I did. We included a bunch of shut-off valves with a bypass and plumber put in a faucet to relieve the pressure when you change the filters (great idea). I wish he had put a pressure valve before the filter system and afterwards to see if there's pressure drop. We had one small issue which was one of the cannisters was damaged in transport (threads). Called iSpring, luckily Nick picked up, and he sent me replacement right away. Installed with no leaks, no issues. You will notice what the sediment filter is picking up which is amazing that was going through the house and we were drinking it. Water is clear, no sediment in toilette bowl or the faucet screens and taste amazing - neighbors come here now to fill their water bottles. We changed the filters after 11 months (6 months of heavy use). Sediment filter was replaced (obviously after seeing the pics), KDF filter was fine, carbon filter replaced but looked okay too (see pics). We finished our basement over the winter and the unit is now enclosed. Note: not easy removing the housing to change the filters, you will need two of those wrenches for sure. They're heavy when full of water so have a bucket underneath. When re-installing, don't overtighten and make sure your gasket is good and apply a bit of silicone to it before spinning it back on. Make this purchase, you will be amazed and even more amazed by the excellent support you get - that's what really did it for us as iSpring stands out in this area. Thanks Nick and the entire team there.

A simple to install and maintain filtration system for any well/bore hole water system. Comprehensively takes care of the water supply to ensure the cleanest possible water. Would readily recommend.

Easy to set up.

Un buen filtro, fácil de instalar

Easy enough to install even as a first time guy with the copper pipe and a extra hand. Got rid of the chlorine which felt like it was getting worse especially with hot water running. Only complaints is that there are no pressure reliefs in the filter housing, there are 3 molds where the older version has them. Easy fix was to put another ball valve between the two shut offs And the other is the filter housing is not supported enough for my liking and any slight vibration would move the whole assembly, however it was easily fixable with flatbar I had laying around. 10/10 the wife's ruff skin cleared up within the first week and no more chlorine smell/taste

I have a chlorine feed pump and softener. It's really difficult here to find someone to service water systems so got rid of my iron filter and carbon filter, my water softener takes care of the iron. In its place I installed this 3 filter system and after a month still works great. Easy to service and was easy to install, just make sure you use enough plumbers tape on the threads when screwing in the fittings on the filter unit. I didn't bother to plumb a bypass for it, just put a shut off between my softener and this filter unit. Installed another shut off on the other end of it and a drain tap to relieve pressure when it comes time to change the filters.
