AmwaterNSF/ANSI 42 ertification Stainless Steel Filter Housing for Filter Cartridge, Water Filter Housing for Whole House Water Purification of Stainless Steel 304 (10" C Housing-1NPT)

I researched Stainless Steel water filters for a while before I decided to buy this one. Here are the reasons for purchasing it:1) It has a place to drain the water pressure on the filter canister when it is time to change the filter. This makes it easy to remove the canister nut.2) There is a spring to push the filter up from the bottom. This helps push the filter up tight to the top and bottom for a good fit if the filter purchased is made a little shorter. The down side is you really have to push the canister up to get the nut started on the canister.After installing the filter we can really tell the difference in our well water. The water is a lot better.Be sure to add something to lubricate the stainless steel threads to keep the stainless from galling. You will be glad you did.

Leaked

Looks nice will need some jell on the seals otherwise it is difficult to tighten and keep from leaking. Works great on my boiler system.

The outside of the casting for the manifold is nicely polished, but the inside is unprocessed or maybe sand blasted and not thoroughly cleaned. I polished it myself as much as I could, but having a rough interior surface for a water filter product is not ideal. It's a hefty and solid housing in any event, but I would have just preferred it if they finished the interior of the casting.

Nice solid filter housing, but mounting bracket is flimsy. However, it's so reasonably priced compared to its' alternatives I would purchase again.
