EF 4 Residential Effluent Filter Only Review

It helps to replace my old filter. My filter sits deep in the tank making it difficult to get the old filter out. This filter has a 1/2" PVC pipe fitting so I was able to screw on some PVC as a handle for easy access.

Three other reviews mention installation difficulties. Solution: You need to cut off the protruding lower lip. All other rings have the same diameter, which ensures a good tight fit. The top ring is also wider so it won't fall off. Doesn't fit a 4" PVC fitting as intended. Why some break and come back. I don't want to change it now as the end is covered in poop.

The septic tank wanted to charge me one hundred and fifty dollars to install one of these. Normally people wouldn't complain because it's a real SHIT job haha. But I look at Revain and it was definitely here for $20. When I asked why their filters were so expensive, he said it was the company's price. I told him the Revain filter is only $20. All he could do was keep his head down and say he didn't do the awards.

This filter is not quite suitable for my application. This isn't because of the filter, it's because of poor quality plumbing that was done when this septic tank was initially installed. The tee that this filter is intended to fit into has a slight bend and does not go all the way through, so it is too high for the access port cover to close properly. I think this works with a properly installed tee. Without being able to test it properly, I can only give 3 stars. It looks like it should work…

This Tuf-Tite EF-4 filter was purchased so I could periodically remove my standard filter in the mod block and replace it with a clean filter. The Tuf-Tite filter is designed to accept a 1/2 inch PVC pipe handle. The handle shown in the picture is made of 1/2" PVC pipe, 40T PVC and 2-3" PVC. pen details. A self-tapping screw attaches the PVC tubing to the filter. This handle makes it easy to remove or insert the filter into the 4" Tuf-Tite filter housing.

I took another reviewer's advice and attached a 1/2" PVC pipe and T-handle to the new block. Crow bar attached to the same 1/2" T-handle. Please note that the device does NOT have to be absolutely straight when installing. In fact it is slightly curved, maybe on purpose, which is why you really need that T-handle to lock the device twist, wiggle and slide when installed in a pipe. Not difficult, just insert into the pipe with some agitation and twist. Fits straight, falls to the inside edge of…

Refill does not clog, other users seem to have foam and sludge from the main tank and needs to be pumped out before this happens. This is good for filtering out debris floating in the water. I hose it down about every three months and it cleans up easily. I put a short aluminum tube in the hole provided and a couple of screws to hold it in place, pop open the gas cap and lift it up slightly to inspect and clean. But it's not a replacement for pumping up your tank. The photos show my secondary…

Very fast delivery from Revain. Very impressive. I placed the order on Thursday evening and it was delivered on Saturday morning. The waste water filter EF-4 is delivered in good packaging. I bought this drain to replace my original wire bristle drain that had the handle top chipped off about 2 inches from the top and has held up well for 13 years. The waste filter is EF-4 and the EF-4 is plastic so should last much longer and is NSF approved. I'll install it today as I still have the hole I…

I took another reviewer's advice and attached a 1/2 inch PVC pipe and T-handle to the new unit. Removed the old one with the crowbar, using the same 1/2" T-handle. Please note that the unit does NOT have to be absolutely straight when fitted. In fact, it's slightly curved, perhaps on purpose, which is why you really want that T-handle need to twist, wiggle and push the unit when installed in a pipe. Not difficult, just insert into the pipe with some agitation and twist. Fits straight, falls to…
