Review on πŸ’§ Pentek 150233 Big Blue Black: A Powerful Water Filtration System for Clean and Pure H2O by Jennifer Mulder

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product / installation tips

Great product but beware! The relief valve leaked when we first ordered it, but the service team quickly replaced it. If I had to do it again, I would NOT get this "feature" on the lid. Instead I would use a safety cap check valve. I find the pressure connection (see SharkBite) in the lid important. This is because you may need to tighten the connection after assembly. Finally, teflon tape doesn't do the job. It may be tight for a while, but if it leaks (which can happen DAYS after fitting) you can't just tighten the connection and get a watertight seal. I used tape and teflon paste as thread sealant. Problem solved. My only regret is that I didn't install this thing many years ago.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Not as good as it says
