Leak Prevention
Customers have mixed feelings about the leak prevention ability of the Filtrete Large Capacity Whole House System. While some report no leaks and improved water quality, others have experienced persistent issues with leaking at the threaded inlet fitting despite attempts to seal it with sealant tape.
Highlights
Quality
We have no odor any more, which is an unexpected side effect, but more importantly, we have perfectly clear water, toilets, and sinks.
Great product works just it said it would.
After a couple attempts and ample sealant (teflon) tape , this thing still leaks at threaded inlet fitting.
I can see and feel the very fine particles of dirt that the filter has screened out.
Shipping
Nice, received it quicker than i was told to expect it.
Competitiveness
If it doesn't work , i'll cut my losses , get a different brand and throw this in the trash.
