EXPRESS WATERWHP1 Spin Down Sediment Filter, Standard, Bronze

Installed and works as expected. I like the fact that they give you a spare o-ring for the filter housing. The build quality is excellent and the purge valve is smooth in operation. No problems so far. I am on a well and this is filtering the sediment and bits of rust from a really old well pipe from the early 1940's.

Connected to my system with ease. Works great and is well built.

I am so glade I chose Express Water Ultimate Protection Whole House Water Filter System.

Easy solution for course sediment from well water. Installed before water softener and flushed every other week. After a few months I had to disassemble and clean screen. Works great!

Was easy to install while I was re pluming my filtration system. Easy clean out and does not restrict flow.

Solid product. Exactly as described. Emptied after a few weeks and was full of sediment. Did great!

Worked ok for a year although the bottom valve had a small, slow leak which I remedied by simply tying a knot in the rubber hose I attached which was used for flushing. But about a year later I noticed a large puddle under the unit (it's in a closet so I don't look often). Turns out the gasket seal failed between the brass valve and clear plastic housing. It looks like there may be small cracks in the plastic housing, I wish I had noticed them before the return window expired. I suggest you look closely in this area before installing.Anyway I figured the manufacturer would be happy to send me a replacement part to fix the leak since it's obviously a defective housing, but no, they refuse to offer any help, hiding behind their 1 year warranty. Their suggestion is to buy a completely new unit. Unfortunately the upper brass part is plumbed in so I don't want to replace the whole unit, only the plastic housing. I may see if an iSpring or similar unit has compatible parts, but I refuse to buy another full unit from "Express Water."

Easy to install. Seems to be working well so far.
