Review on EcoPure EPWHEF Replacement Certified Tasting by Kipp Amundson

This is a cartridge - you need to install the filter canister in the line The replacement takes about a minute and you don't have to turn off the water very easy, to replace this cartridge! can get a few drips so a small towel is all you need except a small piece of elbow grease! I live out of town - water and mud fill the cartridge in about 2-3 months. into the water heater and water heater and into the plumbing of the home. TO UPDATE! - reading other reports about the "exploding" cartridge - seems to me that the correct procedure for replacing the filter is not being followed. Replacement takes less than a minute if performed according to instructions and removing the filter housing THEN OPEN and no water pressure is possible as the filter is removed from the water supply and the filter inlet and outlet paths are open. The filter fits snugly into the filter cartridge container - you can't see the filter "explode" - I puncture the filter cartridge to drain the water before throwing it in the trash. some red clay mud - and deep well water pressure of about 50psi - not so good, especially on the 2nd floor of the house - so added a booster pump, one-way valve, pressure relief tank according to the booster pump installation guide and decided since I'm having so much fun playing plumbing under the House had - decided to add another filter before the Glacier Bay filter - under the GE brand that uses filters for $10 or less - but there's no point in changing it. I bought a small plastic "mixing box" from Lowes that was found in a red concrete area, sort of like a giant drip tray. The GE filter holds just over a gallon of water in my opinion, which must be drained to replace the cartridge. GE is also a 5 micron filter so I think the $35 ECOPURE filters will last longer. The booster pump and filters have only been used for a little over a month so we'll see how long the ECOPURE lasts soon. But - the water is clean - and the water softener is fine (there is a lot of dissolved iron in the well water) Note: ECOPURE and GE filters are particulate filters, not dissolved mineral filters. That's what a water softener is for! As well as drinking water filters for refrigerators and kitchen sinks, whose filter material also contains activated carbon. enlarged) Filter added - one month use - hopefully the larger one will help the $$$ ECOPURE last longer!
