Pentek STANDARD 34 PR 10 Standard Filter Housing Review

I bought these filter housings to replace an old one that was leaking in my garage. It is very easy to replace by purchasing two extra 2" nipples and one 3" nipple. Done in twenty minutes.

It was easy to install and will fit regular 10" pickups within a certain diameter range. It comes without a mounting bracket, wrench, or installation…
