Geekpure20 Inch Whole House Clear Water Filter Housing-Fit 4.5 x 20 Inch Filters-3/4 Port

Goal was to get a spotless car rinse, mission accomplished. Used this housing, an empty media cartridge, and about 6 pounds of mixed bed di resin. Also a pre-filter smaller housing with a carbon filter to get the big chunks.Only con I have is first pressure test is LEAKED and bad. First through was filter wasn't seated right preventing the housing from sealing, bit of messing around found out the o-ring was dry. I put some sink silicone gasket lube all around and it sinched right up. Pressure tested at the 75psi of the house water for several hours. Buy some lube and relube the o-ring whenever you open the system.As this feeds a pressure washer the purge button on the top is wonderful. I know the housing is 100% free of air

you will need additional plumbing fittings but the product is as described and works excellent. i like that it is clear so i can see when to replace the filter because i have a lot of iron in my water. Don't forget to use vaseline on the rubber gasket or it may leak from the seal.

Great price, works perfectly, no qualms. Liked the mounting. Use a good amount of plumbers tape and be careful not to strip the threads.

I saw a few negative reviews so I was initially hesitant to purchase the filter. I purchased a few and this is my review of the unit.The filter housing and price are good. The plastic part can not take the heat from soldering the copper pipes, therefore; the soldering needs to be completed for a short distance before attaching it to the housing. In case that you are familiar with plumbing and have experience then purchase the model with 1" fittings as it includes a brass insert in the plastic housing which is stronger and less susceptible to getting damaged during installation.Here are a few recommendation to prevent the filter or housing from leaking:- Use the pink Teflon tape on the threads- Apply O-ring lubricant to the O-ring washer in the housingWe have been this and other filters with the city water and we have noticed a significant improvement in the quality, taste and smell of the local water.

I'm not sure why there would be a blue one that you can't see inside of ... oh and make sure you get the correct size inlet/outlets ... I got the wrong size first. They look the same and are often displayed side by side on amazon.
