which is at a higher level of good filtration.

. These were orders according to the cartridge model in my case. But what I didn't realize was that my case was considered an "older" model and these new canisters didn't fit in my case. They are wider and don't fully fit the case as others have noted in their reviews. After researching and visiting the Omnifilter website, I found that an alternative filter that gives the same carbon microns as this model is CB3a, which is a must for older cases. Revain needs to be more specific with thisโ€ฆ

Pros
  • is clear even for the old
Cons
  • , I don't remember, but there was something

The best water filter I have found.

I have had Omni-Filter for over 15 years. They no longer support the old canister so I had to upgrade to this one. Attachment has been greatly improved, but you really need to add a plywood backing or 2x4 horizontal bolt if you're unsure of a good attachment point. I used a small piece of MDO plywood as a mounting board and attached it first. The screws provided to attach the canister are too small and you will need a washer for extra support with the final installation. I used a real joistโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Expensive

Omni changed the filter

I've been buying the same filter for 9 years. Works perfectly. Until they made my accommodation obsolete. The DuPont 7000 Series uses "old style" filter housings. Here is the response I got from Omni: Hello! Last year we changed the outer diameter of the CB3 and CB1 filter. The end caps on the CB1 and CB3 were 2.72", they have been changed to a larger size of 2.87". The difference is 0.15", or 5/32". Larger cartridges fit current CBF1, OT32, USM2 and CBF3 cases with room for spare. This wasโ€ฆ

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • neutral

High-level filtering

After getting food poisoning from a contaminated water tank in my RV, I had to rethink my entire filtration strategy. First, I used it for 2 seasons camping and it was late to replace it. But it worked fine, do you really need to replace it? I researched and learned a little more about these filters. Pentair manufactures a variety of filters and carbon filters including CB1 (basic filter) and CB3 (advanced filter that removes more contaminants). I bought CB3 because it removes lead, cysts andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • Seniors

"I'll make it fit! "

Like others I bought a replacement CB3 filter from Revain as I have for years and expected the same CB3 filter to come with the same CB3 -Part number fits in the same CB3 case as always. listed. ERRORS! Well, some fool in the company must have had the brilliant idea of changing the OD so that the filter binds to the case ID when it's inserted 3/4 of the way down, oh, and after that make sure it locks you you cannot remove the plastic fairing without tearing it off the carbon element! While I'mโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Almost never
