Review on 🚰 Pentek BFS 201 Dual Housing Filter System by James Nedumaran

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The coupler should be full length brass, not a short piece of plastic.

Filter housing and brackets in good condition. The clutch leaked between the two heads on 1 of 2 of them. I recommend replacing the short, cheap plastic that came with the kit with a brass one, which is longer and more durable. It's easier to do this before installing. I used this one: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B000FNH26W It had to be brass first as you will be tightening two casings when using the wrench. I like that the o-ring on these Pentek cases is countersunk in this model and the threads are above the o-ring. I also have a 20BB with an o-ring at the top of the hem so you always worry about it slipping off when you tuck it into the top. Overall a good product but no expense should have been spared on this part. I can easily see this crash later after deleting the original.

Pros
  • EQUIPPED WITH A PRESSURE RELEASE BUTTON to relieve pressure in the housing during cartridge changes
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
