This filter seems to work OK. Its fairly new yet.

Install was simple enough.

But when I turned the water on it had a slow leak around the handle at the top (not between the clear body and the blue top)... since I had it hard plumbed into my system I didn't want to take it off. I turned the water off and did some investigating and under the handle there are 4 screws. I took those out and there is an O-ring around the handle interior. I put a bunch of plumbing silicone grease on the o-ring, reassembled it, and the leak was FIXED.

So be advised... If you get a leak coming under the handle you can fix it. Just be sure to turn the water off first!

I downgraded the product to 3 stars since I had to fix it. Now it seems to work OK.

UPDATE 3may2013

This filter housing is still going strong. I've probably changed the filter 4-6 times.

I have had no issues with leaks. It seems the initial fix is holding fine.

Maybe the problem was a twisted O-ring and when I removed it and greased it the reason it stopped leaking was that it wasn't rolled?

Anyway, just wanted to update the review to let you know it is working.

If it keeps up this good performance maybe I will upgrade it to 4 stars...

BTW I am using these filters

I purchased this filter to use only for filling my hot tub. The temp dropped below freezing and the bottom housing shattered like someone dropped a grenade in it even though it was empty at the time! My fault. The precautions specifically state to it must be protected against freezing. I went to manufactures site to order a replacement housing but after shipping costs, I discovered I could order the whole unit from Amazon for $3 more. I also noted that the manufacturer recommends replacing the bottom housing every 5 years for the clear housing and very ten years for the opaque housing.

5 stars for a water filter?

Well my current one conked out, and this is the replacement one that fits my existing filters. Best price I could find, no tax, no shipping. Sometimes Amazon really amazes me with the amount of stuff you can find here.

Unbolted my old filter, bolted this one in, and saved myself a fortune in plumbing costs. And the $50 worth of cartridges I have won't go to waste.

Couldn't be more pleased with both the product and Amazon

Great filter but comes without a mounting bracket. Nearly impossible to mount this filter without a backet. Either buy a mounting bracket for this filter or buy a different brand filter.

I was lucky enough to already have one of these installed in the house I bought in 2004. Just the thing for a well water system. The drinking water gets further refined by a reverse osmosis filter, but no sediment in any of the water in the house.
