Product Description
Pentair Pentek Big Blue Heavy Duty Filter Housings offer the versatility to meet all of your large-capacity filtration needs, including highflow and heavy-sediment applications. The extra large housing allows for greater cartridge capacity, reducing the number of vessels required for high flow-rate applications. Sumps are available in both 10" and 20" lengths. The High-Flow Polypropylene (HFPP) cap is available with 3/4", 1" or 1-1/2" NPT inlet and outlet ports. The 1-1/2" internal port allows a greater volume of liquid to pass through the HFPP cap more rapidly. Big Blue Housings are compatible with a broad range of chemicals and are available with or without a pressure relief button. They accept a wide variety of 4-1/2" diameter cartridges.

Customers are satisfied with the pressure loss of the water filter. They mention that it allows for minimal pressure loss with the filters in place, and there is no drop in water pressure. The pressure relief valve is a nice feature, and the vent button to relieve the pressure works well.

Customers are mixed about the size of the water filter. Some mention that bigger is better, it fits perfect in their old housing, and the filters are large and do not get clogged very fast. However, others say that the cap is an odd size compared to other canisters, the filters can be hard to change, and that the o-rings themselves are too large for the housings.

"Good and strong housing however it does NOT come with a wrench or a mounting bracket… really useless without the bracket because this is very heavy." Read more

They mention that the mounting holes were not threaded, the housings are not threadable to accept screws, and it does not come with the mounting screws or information on which ones to uses. Some customers also mention that there was a relief valve leak and the screw was apparently loose.
"...I have to agree with the others, I wish the mounting holes were threaded and came with new bolts. Over all, I highly recommend this product." Read more
"...Second problem is the 1 1/2" pipe threads are over cut or not tapered as a pipe thread should be...." Read more
"...These fittings were tricky to find as I had to go to a plumbing supply store to find them...." Read more

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I went with a the Pentek R30-20BB Pleated Polyester Filter, because it is supposed to be reusable with a quick rinse. I haven't had to rinse it yet so I can't say how well it works after rinsing. There were many complaints that the Pentek EP-20BB Carbon Block Filter reduced system pressure by ~5 PSI. My pressure tank runs between 50 psi to 32 psi and to be honest I don't notice the pressure drop at all. My well pump is rather quick and only takes ~30s to raise the pressure back to 50psi. I suspect that's masking the filter concerns others had.
The installation was pretty straight forward. I'd recommend MAP over propane for soldering as I could finish a joint with ~15s of heat. I would also highly recommend a good heat shield. I had to solder some joints next to drywall and my heat shield was able to withstand all that heat without transferring any of it to the drywall. It wasn't even warm.
My only complaint is that the filter housing doesn't include a wrench. I was able to hand tighten them, but I'm sure I'll need a wrench to unscrew them. I also had to order a third filter housing as one of the original ones had broken tabs which hold the filter. The return and refund process was easy and quick. No complaints there.

3 month update:
Everything is still working great. At 3 months I haven't noticed any pressure drops due to filter clog, but we've started to notice some SO2 smell in the water. I pulled the pre-filter and washed it off. The tank had sediment in it and it was clear the filter was doing it's job. I pulled the carbon filter and I was surprised by how clean the tank and filter are. I couldn't see any sediment in the tank or on the filter. I decided to rinse it just because it was out.
My plan is to keep using the carbon block until the SO2 becomes too bad to bear. I think the pre-filter still has another 6 months in it before I have to rinse it again.

Pros: you don’t have to worry about losing water pressure for a regular family.
