Just what the doctor ordered for my RV. Many of the filters available have a large center hole that would not align with my filter, so water was bypassing the filter. I did not realize this until I changed it one day and notice that the impression on the rubber of the removed filter was crossing over the inside hole and determined that it was obvious that water was bypassing the filter. These filters have a small ID hole of 1-1/8". I am now sure that the water is getting filtered and not bypassed.

THIS FILTER KEEPS YOUR WATER CLEAN FOR AT LEAST SIX MONTHS WE HAVE WELL WATER AND THIS FILTER WORKS.

Nice filters competitive pricing. I’ve bought this brand for years.

It works but doesn't last extremely long and is rather expensive but still less than the water treatment company charges.

Perfect

I recently bought a home that had this Pentair 20" system. After opening the cartridge housing, I found the previous owner had used a cheap non-OEM filter element. I also noticed the cartridge was not vertically aligned with the top and bottom seating areas for proper filtering. This was due to the undersized outer diameter of the overall filter element. This system is designed to self align the cartridge upon installation. Cheap copies may not seat properly leading to water bypassing the filter element. I suggest you buy the genuine specified filter for proper performance.

Worth the extra money. This filter from Pentair helps to remove the massive amounts of chlorine used in Arizona to sanitize the water The chlorine in the water damages the resin bed and water softeners. Decreasing the water softeners service life. Using this charcoal filter will also provide improved taste and removes odor from the water. I have tried other filters, I will stick with this Pentair Charcoal filter a head of my Kinetico Water Softener.
