💧 The Ultimate Pentek Big Blue Housing NPT: Top-rated Choice for Exceptional Filtration Review

I've had 2 for 5-6 years and this one came on the 3rd. I use 1 micron, charcoal and 0.35 micron throughout my home system and my city water test is over 400ppm to about 120ppm. Bought to replace another brand whose case cover had cracked in less than 3 months. My only complaint is actually the installation advice. Apply a sufficient amount of the supplied lubricant to the O-ring, otherwise it will be very difficult to remove the housing to change the filter.

I bought two of these filters to filter my whole house. One has a pre-filter and the other has a carbon filter. I used a 1" to 3/4" adapter as none of my plumbing systems are 1" in diameter! As long as they work fine; no leaks. One of the large o-rings was too big and didn't fit, but I finally got it to work. Happy with the purchase especially as they are not very expensive. I note that the instructions say to change the filter housing after 10 years. I think they are concerned about the…

I use well water and this was necessary. I made the connection with PEX, but copper/PVC isn't a problem either. I would recommend installing as close to the supply point as possible so you don't get debris in water heaters or other appliances/faucets. I would also recommend check valves near the inlet and outlet for filter changes. The only issue I had was a small amount of water leaking around the threads when first installed. I disassembled it and used teflon impregnation for pipes. After…

Not compatible with the 3M version which looks exactly the same but has a much better seal. Sometimes it was difficult to get a proper seal with the 3M filter (aqua pure AP801). The filter elements are identical, but the threads are different. Due to the high iron content in well water, I use a Pentek filter element. The zero water meter shows 88 TDS but I don't know how much iron I have in PPM. Revain shipped mine with no packing material, so one of the filter holders inside the manifold was…

I bought this to have a clean ready to use when I change filters. On my third use of this particular item, I dropped the filter housing less than 3 feet into a bucket which I placed in an even larger container (I don't like making a mess and I have far too much respect for the destructive power of water leaks). It fell about half an inch into the water when I tried to unscrew it completely and it slipped out of my hands. Judging by the photo, the crack is almost circular. There is no way a PVC…

I chose this over the same sized Culligan filter because it was about 1/3 smaller. I replaced a similar Culligan that had a leaking exhaust valve/knob after a dozen years of use. Pentek #10 was the same size and matched the bracket the Culligan was mounted on, but the screw holes were unthreaded and no self-tapping/tape screws were included. I ended up using a matrix and a tap to start the threads. I also noticed that another customer gave feedback about not being able to tighten the housing…

I love these housing blocks and have two of them but reassembly after changing the cartridge can be a little tricky. I have found that it is necessary to fully lubricate the o-ring and threads, otherwise the seal will go bad and there will be a lot of leaks after the water is turned back on. I think in our case there is a lot of iron in the water sticking to the o-ring and binding it when you screw the blue housing back into the top of the filter. If the O-ring is deformed, it will not seal…

I needed a good "whole house water filtration system" for my 2003 Alfa SeeYa 40ft RV. Couldn't find one that fit my needs so I built mine from parts ordered here from Revain. I saved 50% building my own system and I think it's the best on the RV market. The key here is full flow, no pressure drop, 100% full filtration and ease of use with full portability. Shopping list: a. (1) MMDetailz RV Water Pressure REG. & caliber A01-1117VP, b. (2) Pentek 150237 #10 Big Blue 4.5" x 10" filter housing…

Used as the final filter for our kitchen sink, dishwasher, reverse osmosis system and fridge ice maker.... I use a 0.5 micron filter so a slight drop in pressure was to be expected.This case is not to blame.......Works well with my 40/60 psi well water system....Durable product... This unit really saves money to replace the reverse osmosis filter and fridge filters I don't need the fridge filter It gets water from the reverse osmosis system Great ice Note: if you pump the ice maker from the…
