AO Smith Whole House Water Sediment Filter - Valve-In-Head Single-Stage Filtration System - NSF Certified - AO-WH-PREV

The following are the guidelines for residential developments I have been quite satisfied with what I have gotten from this brand of filters. I am not sure if they will hold up over time, but it is excellent product. Like ALL filters of this type, the mounting bracket is flimsy and can only be used to stand them away from The copper or in my case, the pex plumbing is pretty much all you need to keep the device upright. It is recommendable to place blocks near the filters. I like that the valve works smoothly, and the filter body can easily be loosened and tightened using the spanner wrench that was included. It must be noted, however, that the rubber gasket is loosely seated, and will likely dump out when the old filter is removed. It's just something you've got to pay attention to. If that doesn't work out, I may even go with a tandem setup, just to have on hand. The well I have and the 20-foot sailboat I own I like to run I would recommend first using a micro filter, followed by either a 10 or 5-micro filter If there is no micron filter available, then maybe a charcoal filter will do.

The design of the AOSmith unit made installation and service an arduous task. After fighting with it for months, we finally purchased this particular Would have been better if I ordered it right away! This is much better than before. This is an easy to install program. Filters are easy to change (as we have to do it The extra bit of money spent over the other unit was well worth it.

After a prolonged search on our favorite supplier website, Amazon, we finally ended up purchasing this whole house AO Smith water filter. Our goal was to find a water filter that provided a high level of filtering ability, off, bypass, and filter adjustment, in addition to highly competent 3/4 inch filter "in and out" As many reviews suggested, other brands of filters with 3/4" plastic treading usually leak, and we have read so many reviews that we were very concerned that this one would not leak. The best thing you can do is not buy something right off the bat that is built with built in flaws, like a thread leaking from inside and out. It has been almost a month since we received the new AO Smith filter and haven't In the included photos, you can see how our pump house setup for a rain catchment tank in Hawaii is still in Our previous filter is plastic and does not leak, but after several years, we chose to replace it because ours became clogged after we had it for a few years. There was a problem with the ring. You should also know that the AO Smith water filter has not only metal thread inserts for the water lines, but also a unique o-ring design. This is a great ring placement in the top of the filter containment chamber made of high tempered, plastic screw off. This is what I believe - In contrast to the o-ring, the ring is more likely to give us no trouble than it would with a ring- Now there is a ring on the filter housing that is up on top. Only time will tell what is real and what isn't once the new filter is After the new filter has been in operation for a reasonable period of time, I will update this review with any pros or cons that might arise. In the meantime, I suggest you do a comparison as I did before purchasing the To be an informed buyer, you must do your research. Among all the water filters on Amazon, we think that we bought the one that would be the best fit for our needs. It is true that the AOSmith filter has those real important features mentioned that I feel are a necessity. The new AO Smith filter was very high quality when we took it out of the box and we were impressed by the way it looked. The AO Smith name was also considered, as it has a long history of being a trusted title.

Replacing it with this unit was a way to get rid of it. The unit was mounted differently than the other units, but it was still easy to The ability to bypass is nice so that you don't have to shut off everything. The replacement of the filter was quite simple and has not resulted in any leaks after the installation. In my opinion, this unit can be recommended.

After only 3 weeks in service upstream of the new water softener, I noticed the filter element is already showing signs of deterioration. I was very satisfied with my previous whole house GE filter other than leaky fittings. It was very easy to use and didn't change colors often over the course of many months.

Installed a replacement for a faulty GE product There is more money and there is less money. In every respect, this AO Smith is way better than it was before. This software is easy to install and works extremely well.

My home has two of these that clear sediment out of the well water so that the faucets and appliances never become It is possible to take more time between filter changes when there are two.

As soon as I put a cartridge into the printer, it began to leak. As I drained the liquid, I noticed that it had an O-ring I tried everything I could think of, but the ring around the circumference was excessively large to fit into the groove. Lowe's received it and I returned it to them. In addition to uninstalling, you did a great job installing. The purchase of a compliant building and installation. I TRULY DOUBT THE QUALITY CONTROL IS ABOVE 50%.
