Review on πŸ’§ Pentair OMNIFilter Dual Stage Cartridges for Enhanced Filtration by Ryan Schweigert

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The catastrophe is about to start

Assuming you can prevent o-ring leaks, this under-sink unit will be a disaster waiting to happen. Check out the attached photo. What you see is the bottom of one of the shell casings. No, this case break/crack is not due to me dropping the device or anything falling on it. Instead, the cartridge body broke during use, spilling gallons of water into my kitchen and basement. Luckily, I was at home working in my office, which happened to be right under the kitchen sink. I heard a bang and 30 seconds later, water started pouring from the ceiling onto all the electrical equipment in my office. Luckily, the house's water shut-off valve was only six feet from my office, and I was able to contain the disaster. It's horrible to imagine what would have become of this story if I hadn't been home during the hull destruction. Before leaving on vacation, be sure to turn off the water in the house/apartment. Second, you need a water detection alarm system that sits underneath the unit and sends you an email notification when the alarm detects a leak. Third, wrap the entire device in a heavy-duty plastic bag to at least minimize damage if the hose bursts. jug filter. Those plastic filtration systems under the sink are time bombs about to explode.

Pros
  • Plumbing for the kitchen and bathroom
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
