Review on πŸ” Optimum Filtration Efficiency: Geekpure Plastic Port Fit Filters for Superior Housing by Marc Zitnik

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliably done. Good quality case.

Geekpure offers a wide range of products from small domestic applications to large industrial reverse osmosis systems. I found the quality of their products very good. I have been involved with water filtration since I was young when I needed reverse osmosis for marine aquariums. It has found its way into drinking water systems and entire home systems. As a second-generation builder, I've learned to appreciate homes that incorporate new technology, but in a way that emphasizes less maintenance and greater efficiency. 20" filters offer longer change intervals compared to 10" versions. Specially designed for large volumes of water when filtering all the water used in the home. Installing a whole house filter makes sense in most situations. It supplies filtered water to the whole house, takes care of the laundry, toilets and showers and all the faucets. You will be able to enjoy the benefits of better water in your home. Some things to consider when installing a whole house filtration system - Home filters are usually placed where the incoming plumbing enters the house. I like to place them after the main check valve and pressure regulator. You can turn off the water with the main switch while changing the filter. Alternatively, you can fit a bypass system around the filter to bypass it if any fault occurs. this. one of the trunks starts to leak. So you always have water in the house. Actually, this is the best method. I would recommend it. It is best to place the filter housing in an easily accessible place where it can get wet. Especially with the larger 20-inch versions, some water is often spilled when changing the filter. Best when wall mounted at a convenient height for maintenance. You can always put a bucket underneath to keep things dry. I like to move them slightly away from the wall by adding a 3/4 inch strip of plywood sheathing behind the mounting bracket. A little more space on the back of the filter makes it easier to work with the canister wrench when changing the filter. The more water you run through the filter, the more often it needs to be changed. If you don't need water filtration for car washing, gardening, or irrigation, it might be a good idea to see if this arrangement can be changed. Version with transparent housing. I strongly recommend thinking about it. I appreciate having clear canisters in my sink/fridge reverse osmosis system. There is a lot of iron in the water in my area and if I can see the sediment filter I can quickly assess its condition. I've learned over the years to know the color it changes when it's almost empty and starts to reduce the flow of water. Purchasing a dual canister system allows you to use both a sediment pre-filter and a carbon block or GAC filter. A carbon filter removes chlorine and many other chemical contaminants that a sediment filter does not remove. I find it great for showering, brushing teeth, rinsing vegetables and other such tasks. There are many health benefits. Many tests were carried out and standards set not only for the water quality, but also for the indoor air quality. The release of chlorine and other chemicals into the service water contributes significantly to this. The water in our toilet alone contributes to this due to gas contamination. When you shower, you breathe in these gases and the chemicals come into contact and are absorbed through your skin. The health benefits are largely unknown to the general public, but for those with health issues, reducing as many toxins as possible is a worthy strategy, and this could be one of them. Now about that blue canister in particular. Personally, I would use it as a secondary canister to house a charcoal block or granular charcoal filter. You will probably need to change them between 6 months and 1 year. I would put it after a clear canister with a 20 micron sediment filter installed. This one canister version, unlike the two canister version, can be useful in situations where space is limited and multiple individual canisters will fit better than the two canister side-by-side version. In most cases, the sediment filter needs to be changed more frequently than the activated carbon filter. I change the sediment filter every 6 months and the activated carbon filter every year. This is in a family of 4 in a hard water area with a TDS of 130ms. A whole house water filter is great for most situations. Personally, I also have a secondary reverse osmosis system for the sink drinking water faucet and refrigerator/icemaker lines. It's great to have better than bottled water available on the tap. My kids grew up drinking purified water and I've found them enjoy drinking water. They still drink milk, cold soda, soda, and tea, but I'm sure they drink a lot more water than if I hadn't installed water filtration systems. When we go to a restaurant, we all know immediately whether the tap water is filtered or unfiltered. We rarely buy bottled water. Our domestic water seems to be better in almost every way. I added a remineralizing cartridge after reverse osmosis and I like it better that way. All our tea, cold, coffee and cooking water is filtered. Everything tastes better that way. If you even notice your ice as if from filtered water. When the ice melts, the water is still as clear. I really appreciate having filtered water at home. I think once you've tried it, you won't want to be without it. Whole House Filter - Great water to take your drinking water filtration to the next level. Your hair, skin, lungs and overall health can appreciate it. Be sure to check out the Geekpure Store to see the other offerings. I find their replacement filter media very beneficial. 5 Stars.
