Review on ISpring WGB22B 2 Stage 20 Inch Filter: Enhanced Water Filtration System for Clean and Pure Water by Kiesha Williams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Leaks in the wrong places.

Overall decent value for money. The last work as everyone is satisfied with the quality of the water. I am very happy that I only have to change the filters once a year. Installing and sealing this "system" was a real challenge. I wanted to use PEX and bought extra light Shark Bite valves and fittings to make installation quick. It went well. What went wrong was the hose fittings in the filter block. Both sides had to be pulled apart and it was a lot more silicone tape than I normally use to seal. Filter housing, man, they need a better seal design. You would think a double o-ring would be a great and easy seal. Not on this one. Note that if you're trying to put them together and actually seal them, you'll need to use a lube (I've always used petroleum jelly for this type of gasket lube when needed, and this was the solution for me). With no lubrication, trying to get the filters to stop pouring water out of the filters actually ripped the faucets out of the cinder block wall trying to turn them. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this "system" unless you have a lot of plumbing experience. . Prone to leaks and does not seal well.

Pros
  • Fits many
