Pentair Pentek 150166 Valve-In-Head Filter Housing, 3/4" NPT #20 Standard Water Filter Housing with Pressure Relief Button, 20-Inch, Black/Blue

This is a great alternative to $400 whole-house systems that are basically nothing more than a stainless steel housing of similar size. I use an Aquios RCFS220L VOC filter in this housing, with a cheaper sediment filter upstream. After three years of use, however, the housing has frozen on to the threads and won't break loose, so I'm going to have to cut it off the wall and replace it. Maybe Teflon would have kept the threads from jamming.

The filter housing does exactly what it says it does, it holds a filter. The shut off valve being on the top of it is a nice feature. However, the first one I received was defected as the pressure relief button would not work properly and would spray water up through it.

This item matched a previous housing and was a direct fit. Works as intended and I'm glad to have found it at a reasonable price.

This filter DOES NOT COME WITH A "Wrench" to loosen and tighten it. Also, THERE ARE NO HOLES ON THE TOP TO MOUNT IT. You need a special bracket that is not the "normal" bracket that is 90 degrees. No other reviews stated any of this. Now I have to spend another $15-$20 to get these other things just to make it work. What a rip off. I think I am going to send it back and get a different one. Too expensive.

Perfect filter housing for a residential system. You can get a metal bracket that attaches to it for stability.

This filter housing appears to be made of high quality materials and operates as described by the manufacturer.

So far, so good!
