Review on 💧 WGB32BM Sediment Manganese Filtration System by iSpring by Andy Jolley

My mother has neurodermatitis and has needed a water filter/air conditioner for a long time. Please note that this system is not a water softener in the traditional sense. While I'm using the iSpring add-on's magnetic field and it seems to help, it's not the same as a saltwater softener system. That's great because that's how I prefer it. Of all the systems I've researched, this is the one that best suits my mom's needs. While a salt water softener system is great for bathing, I don't find salt water softeners helpful in the long run when trying to control my sodium intake. Your skin is not irritated like it usually is after a shower or bath. Let's see how the system will withstand such water consumption in 6-12 months. While these results are excellent, they are still preliminary. That being said, I thought it would be helpful to share my installation notes in case anyone else is doing a do-it-yourself (DIY) installation. quote. He gave me a range of $500 to $700 for a few hours of labor and parts. He also suggested installing it alongside the home's main plumbing. Another alternative was near a water heater. It's also nice to note that the iSpring system comes with just filters, a filter housing, and a mounting bracket. Other sanitary installations are not included. The water pickups on the iSpring are 1 inch in diameter, and since the house runs on 3/4 copper tubing, I went with 3/4 copper tubing. I thought of PEX pipes, but copper seemed more suitable to me. I originally wanted to use Nibco press fit copper fittings but they are not available in my area. Therefore, most of the links are related to Sharkbite. However, the 1" to 3/4" adapter had to be soldered, so if you're not a solderer I recommend it. If you prefer not to solder, use a 1" x 3/4" male thread adapter. I used 3/4 gallon copper tubing and cut it to length. Note that copper tubing is available in M, L, and K gauges. M is the thinnest tube and probably won't last as long as L and K. K is the thicker of the three and is the most durable over time. L-pipes are best suited for domestic water lines. A few things I learned: When cutting copper pipes, make sure to deburr the inside of the pipe, otherwise unwanted water turbulence can occur, which can lead to local leaks in the pipe. with time. Also, just because the pipe is new, it still needs to be cleaned with fine grit sandpaper or an emery cloth on the ends to prevent the Sharkbite fittings from leaking. And be careful not to get dirt in the Sharkbite fittings as this can reduce their effectiveness as dirt can clog the o-rings inside and cause a leak. ...$3.59 each x 2 = $7.18 Two 3/4" barbed brass Sharkbite fittings ...$21.98 each 2 = $43.96 Nine barbed Sharkbite 3/4 90 degree fittings Elbows...$10.28 9 each = $92.52 A BernzOmatic flashlight kit for soldering two 1" x 3/4 copper tube adapters...$22.48 One 3/4' x 5' L copper tube...16.18 $ A hard-to-reach copper pipe cutter... $9.98 Total parts: $192.30 (excl. sales tax) ) What I would enable and still enable the pressure relief value now that the system is up and running. Instead of spraying water all over the place when I'm about to change filters, I had to set a pressure setting similar to many water heaters. That way I can depressurize the bucket instead of spraying it all over the place. All in all I learned a lot and I hope that my experience can help others. So far the system is great! 10/10 recommend.
