Works well, has trouble sealing connections

If you want a basic, inexpensive, standard size filter canister this will do. I was having trouble with a slow leak in one of the threaded ports. Lots of teflon tape and twisting stopped the leak completely. Shut-off valve facilitates cartridge replacement.

Pros
  • Complete Kit
Cons
  • -

O-rings swell and no longer fit after about a year.

O-rings seem to increase in diameter after about a year of use. At this point they will not seat properly in the groove and will get stuck when screwing the body canister onto the lid. Then it flows. I have never had this problem with the original Omni brand filters which they are modeled after.

Pros
  • I'm crossing my fingers
Cons
  • too dull

NO ASSEMBLY! in Water Filtration & Softeners

The MBA geniuses at Revain who decided to private label this filter don't seem to realize there must be a way to install the filter. the plumbing lines are kept close to the wall. If you've had one of these filters, you know how much torque is required when loosening the housing to change the filter. Apparently, Revain sells them to hopelessly naive DIYers who will weed out a faulty installation, only to rip it off the wall when (1) the filter needs replacing and (2) the 30-day return is long…

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Confusing

The threads are too tight, they tear.

I may have received a defective block, but both the input and output threads are cut too tight. It was impossible to fit a 3/4" adapter into the top without destroying the threads. Then, as expected, even with the threaded tape, the jets leaked. Not a little. Art bubbled. on this product. With how much it was out of order I would assume human error and blame myself It works It would be great to have a clear housing for the pre-filter I won't risk trying again Will order more Dupont.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as others

Works well with on-demand electric water heaters.

Easy to install. Works well. If desired, it can be installed as a filter on an electric water heater. Do not use plastic inlet/outlet fittings, use brass with Teflon tape. I used 1st plastic steps. Big leak. Switched to brass and everything worked. Very happy with the purchase. I used the Culligan UB-1 mount to hang it up.

Pros
  • Highly rated by testers for support and durability
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

NO ASSEMBLY!: Water filtration and softener

The Revain MBA geniuses who have chosen this filter to private label don't seem to realize that there must be a way to assemble the filter. apart from a clumsy sketch showing a plumbing fixture held up to a wall. If you've had one of these filters, you know how much torque is required when loosening the housing to change the filter. Apparently Revain is hopelessly selling them. naïve handymen fumbling with a broken faucet only to rip it off the wall when (1) the filter needs replacing and (2)…

Pros
  • Featured
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

The threads are too tight, they tear.

I may have received a defective assembly but both the input and output threads are over-cut. It was impossible to fit a 3/4" adapter into the top without destroying the threads. Then, as expected, even with the threaded tape, the nozzle adapters leaked. Not a little. Out of service I would assume human error and mine blame it It works It would be great to have a clear housing for the pre-filter I won't risk trying again Will order more Dupont

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Expensive
