High quality industrial process filtration

I bought this about 3 years ago to pre-filter water for a humidifier on a furnace because I use it I have had enough of clogged solenoid valves, screens and water panels so often. It turned out to be a great investment. It was amazing to see so much dirt removed from the city water supply, greatly extending the life of my Aprilaire components! Unless you're connecting directly to 1/2" or larger copper pipe through fittings, I recommend a bracket. It's a little flimsy, but it helps.

Pros
  • Clear Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN) for in situ monitoring of cartridge flow and status
Cons
  • I'll write later

Pros
  • Slim filter housing for low flow applications and limited space
Cons
  • Expensive

Pros
  • Initial pressure drop 2 psi inches at 5 gpm
Cons
  • Not as thick as other filters
