Geekpure 20 Inch Clear Whole House Water Filter Housing - 1" NPT Brass Port (1)

Get fat teflon tape and use a lot of it. Don't bother with compound, or use both tape and compound. The pipe threads are cut kinda liberally, so they leak easily if you don't use enough tape or don't tighten the fittings enough. Compound alone allows leaks to sneak through. I also had a problem where the valve on top would leak water, but they stopped leaking, so no problem. I believe they're designed to purge air from the system. I think they just needed to seat properly under pressure. When I say "leak", I mean a drip every few minutes, but like I said, they all stopped, so probably normal.

Holy geeze these are big! They can filter a ton of water for sure! I installed 3 of these for a whole home filter going from 20 microns down to 1 micron. They were easy to install but had to use some serious wall anchors to ensure they would not pull through. They are of solid quality and the design is nice having a air purge. For me they are a good value and I like the clear canister so I can easily tell when the filters are dirty making them more functional than the non clear ones.

Clear housing is slightly larger than the blue housing. Clear housing will not screw into black top that came with blue filter. My blue housing filter was installed about 4 years ago and has a small crack in the bottom that leaks under pressure, so i thought i could get this clear set and screw the clear housing into the blue housing top. NOPE. different size housings!

I like the size "20"x4.5" for whole house. If you want to clean tap water decently for drinking then you can add the 3 typical filters used for reverse osmosis and then add the membrane, post filters and tank under the sink. I think you can still work it that way, but the whole house would be more sediment free and decently drinkable more then i'd say straight from the city pipes type water which i still think have aftertastes like when we were kids and drank water from a hose lol. So i think most of these will be installed where your hot water tank is as that's usually where the main water supply comes into the house first. I'm using it with a, i'll call it a de-mineralizer filter to lessen sediment and some minerals that tend to block up my tankless heater. But i know the one filter wont do a whole lot but it's better then nothing. My plumber installed only one of these and it was blue plastic, so i'm replacing it with this one with a clear housing so i can see the state of the filter. So overall 5 stars as overall they do help reduce sediment and flavor depending on how many filters you add.

I got 7 years out of it with roughly monthly filter changing. Developed a small crack and leak in the seam between the bottom "cap" of the clear bowl and the side cylinder. I can probably seal it. 5 stars if they made the filter bowl out of a less brittle material.

I have owned two of these items for over a year, and they are just great. When I had this item and a whole home water softener installed by my plumber I put one of these before the water going to my whole home water softener and one installed before my tankless water heater. I am getting more than 1 years use from my water filter. I am on city water in florida but I have noticed a huge difference in not seeing calcium buildup in my dishwasher and shower heads. Plumer though it was over kill - but what price do you put on preventive maintenance? Great product.

Two years on and still no problems. I am swapping out the short Aquasure filter housing for another one of these, because Aquasure use a non-standard filter length and their filters are expensive. I used a spin down 200 micron pre-filter to take the grit out, then this filter, followed by the 10" filter that came with the water softener. I had read the reviews that said this was difficult to seal, but I had no issues. I don't ever want to do this sort of thing twice, so I used the grey pro grade Teflon tape and also pipe dope, again the better quality grade. I lubricated the O-ring with the proper silicon sold for these O-rings. No problems. Nothing leaked. 62 crimps, 8 NPT connections, 7 shark bite connections and not a single drop of a leak.

Home built system. This is first filter and the housing is good. Clear is a must to see sediment and install was decent. A lower support would have been a benefit as metal bracket is greater then 90*. The housing tilts down a bit.

I like the build quality up until I filled it with water. Its max rated pressure is 75psi, my mains supply is 55, so I thought what could go wrong? Well, the 1inch inlet and outlet leak and despite my using 12m of PTFE tape and 1/3 tube of Ls-x silicone thread sealer on either end I could not get it it to seal. It just weeps. I decided to swap the 1" to 15mm step-down adapting brassware to see if that helped, and low and behold one side is tighter than the other! So I replaced the brass at screwfix thinking it was the step down rings but the threads are milled to different sizes, fractionally, but enough to make one side leak more than the other.

We had issues with iron sediment. Tried the smaller ones which would foul every 3 days or so. I installed two of these in series and very happy with the results. When installing the 1 inch fittings use TONS of tape. I used a lot and could have used more. Had to tighten very tight to stop small leaks. Great product. Would recommend. Easy install.

I purchased and installed a clear and blue filter in my home for sediment and Iron. The water is noticeably cleaner when sitting in a mason jar over a period of 3 days. Before the filter, the sediment and iron in the water would collect at the bottom and form a later. Now there is no collection of sediment and the water tastes amazing! Geekpure's customer service has been a blessing as the brass fitting has a small crack which led to a slow leak on one of the filters. They very promptly solved my issue! Best customer support I've had from any company! Highly recommend

Bought 2 in the summer, finally installed both in series today on a 30/50 psi well water system. Horrible mistake Red pressure relief button on top leaks constantly. All the brass 1" npt threads leak. And out leaks between brass and plastic molding, nothing you can fix there. I've tried 3 pipe tape wraps and normal tight, leaked immediately, tightened very tight, leaked, tightened hulk tight, leaked. Took it all apart, 7 or 8 wraps of tape, very tight, all 4 leak about a drop a minute now instead of drooling. Had to put plumbers grease on the 'silicone' o rings to stop both bowls from leaking as well. Do not buy!! I deal with hydraulics every day, done most of my own plumbing for 20 years, I've never failed like this. I've used rusty, damaged npt to seal 5000 psi hydraulics and it's always worked but these can't handle 50 psi. Geekpure won't refund or replace either!

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 (this model) 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 housing We 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.
