Aquaboon Pressure Certified Compatible Water Filter: Find the Perfect Match! Review

Typical installation considerations aside, this filter and plastic tubing must be painted for outdoor installation for UV protection. Also, don't forget Teflon tape on the 1" male threads on the inlet and outlet fittings (sold separately). I found an odd thing: 4 mounting holes are unthreaded. I used an 8mm tap (Harbor Freight), to attach securely to the mounting bracket. Also, take some silicone sanitary grease and lubricate the o-rings before installation.

Didn't realize they were so big and so powerful. Two o-rings and a wrench ensure no leaks when properly installed. They came with their own brackets and heavy bolts. You just have to use the right connections. I recommend using duct tape instead of pipe lube as I had a leak from not wanting to ruin the threads so I didn't tighten it properly. The only issue I had was that installing the filter can be an issue with some types of filters that have a soft waste outlet. The best way to insert the…

Overall this product works well but be careful: The 1" NPT thread on the top of each canister filter is NOT TAPERED. That means you need to find and purchase a 1-hex nylon fitting with packing gaskets. I FOUND THEM IN THE POOL. AMAZON DOES NOT OFFER THEM. This is the ONLY way this will work without leaks. The kit already comes with 2 pc hex fittings between each canister filter but they don't sell them. If it weren't for this problem - a good product. There is no support. Don't even try to…

The bracket flexes slightly and the movement increases at the bottom of the filter. It seems that for such a heavy filter it could be made stiffer by welding pieces of metal to the sides. When first installed it was dripping from outgoing threads. I used a few turns of teflon tape and pipe grease. I disassembled it, cleaned the adapter plastic and threads, and this time just used teflon tape, many, many turns. I also saw that there is a ledge or stop on the back of the plastic thread. I had an…

I installed it on my well which I use for irrigation. We are in an area with high iron content, so anything that comes in contact with water will stain. I also got a 20,000 gallon pool and used the fountain to fill it up once it was placed in the ground. The filter helped with the discolored water, but it wasn't perfect. The pool guys said it would affect the water quality but I was still not supposed to drink the water. The filter is pretty dark and dirty after spilling 20,000 gallons through…

This product comes with a bracket and mounting screws. I personally installed the filter and all copper plumbing. Here's a tip for those of you who have leaks and threads on the inlet and/or outlet above. Buy double density Teflon tape at your local hardware store. Oatey sells this product in grey. Turn the male thread clockwise several times. Then apply sealant such as Megaloc or T plus 2 and apply to the beer steps over the pre-wrapped tape. Always apply sealant to the male threads and allow…
