This filter housing is a reliable and affordable way to set up whole house water filtration. It was easy to install and works perfectly with standard filter cartridges. The quality seems great, ensuring clean water throughout my home!

Seems like the only ones that are bursting are the clear ones, and leaks at the pipe connections on the blue ones. Put some pipe seal on threads, a good thread sealer, and should do the trick. I got the blue one.

The SimPure whole house filter housing seems to be made very well. The reasons I chose it are that it is made of solid polypropylene and its design incorporates two o-rings. I did contact their support through email. I was interested in the size of the o-rings so I could have them on hand. They were quick to contact me with the information.

I would have given it a five star, but the pressure relief leaks.

I bought this unit because of the great flow rate. It has metal input and output fittings which allow for both teflon tape and joint compound to prevent leaks. It works great.

We added the SimPure Whole House Water Filter Housing (DB10P) with the PUREPLUS 5 Micron 10" x 4.5" Whole House Coconut Shell Activated Carbon and KDF Water Filter, Heavy Metal Removal Replacement Water Filter to pre-filter for the HQUA-OWS-121 120V 40W 12GPM 1” Inlet/Outlet MNPT Whole House Ultraviolet Water Purifier Filter in our well house for our private well. This in combination with the filters have improved the quality of our water in taste. I used two 2"x4" boards between the studs to mount this filter to for stability when I need to change filters in the future. I had to connect metal lines to the UV filter, so placing 1" brass nipples in the filter and flex lines on both sides made the installation easy. The picture shows this filter housing and the UV system installed in the well house.

Very strong housing. Be sure you have enough space in the installation to unscrew the bowl and change the element. Very well built, I will buy another.

It took me about ten minutes to regret purchasing this piece of junk. As other reviews note, the pressure relief valve leaks no matter what -- and the manufacturer obviously knows it is a problem, because they send a replacement relief valve kit with it! I spent more on fittings than I spent on this canister, and wasted considerable time doing the install, only to find that this thing is incapable of containing water. I highly recommend that you buy something else. I'll be tearing this down, returning it, and searching for another product -- probably locally, since this kind of low quality bad experience is becoming par for the course for things purchased through Amazon. EDIT: I am updating this review due to the continuous contact I have had from the seller since I submitted it. First, they offered to "address any issues or concerns," and to "work to resolve the issues." That was useless, as I had already processed the return and refund through Amazon. Plus, there is no way to address or resolve a water filter housing which is incapable of containing water. Second, the following day, they contacted me again and offered to replace the product by sending me a "backup." It was unclear whether this would be free or at my cost, but in either case, I was not interested and did not respond. They offered to "meet my requirements" to "solve this issue with a wonderful ending," which I suppose means that I could have demanded something in return for editing or deleting my negative review. As noted, I did not respond. Third, a week later, I was again contacted, this time purportedly to discuss why I was returning the housing as an "unwanted item." The message from SimPure implied that I didn't want it because "it didn't meet my needs," to gather information to correct anything "inaccurate on the product detail page." I did not appreciate the implication that I returned the item because it did not meet my need. It was exactly what I needed -- or would have been, if it had the ability to contain water without leaking. I suppose if there is an inaccuracy on the product page, it is the statement that this plastic bucket will hold water and not leak. Although never stated (to avoid violating Amazon policy), it always seemed obvious that SimPure was fishing for a way to make me retract or at least tone down my negative review. Ultimately, all they accomplished was this edit -- my first ever in nearly 20 years of using Amazon -- to reflect an even more negative experience than originally experienced. In the end, I bought an AO Smith filter housing locally at the big box store, at a lower cost -- along with a couple of filter cartridges. That item installed easily and didn't leak a drop -- leaving me far more satisfied than SimPure's product and barrage of communications.
