@John McGee Could you explain what all is wrong? I think it would benefit SWS and the viewers.
I'm not sure the pex will swell 2.5 inches like he says, bu the rest seems pretty straightforward.
Daniel, you did an excellent demo here! Great teacher! I learned more about water filtration from you than others I've watched. Thanks for your time and trouble!
Recently had a similar system installed at my grandparents house and I really liked the layout the installer used. Similar situation with the existing pipe in the corner. He mounted the filters on the run away from the existing pipe, then used the UV filter to rise the level and go back. This totally eliminated the need for any 90° in the system and made for a very compact installation. Two Ts to branch of and otherwise straight connections.
Excellent demonstration. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for explaining how PEX expands in a freeze! I did NOT know that!
thank you for sharing this. I am going to get 1 and I wasn't sure how to hook it up and u shared it and it looks Fairly easy to do
great demo thanks for all the info !!
thank you so much for breaking this down..
Great video you cover all the aspect that was looking for
Suggestion on teflon tape. The teflon should be tightened on the thread as you unwind it from the tape housing.
Great explanation. Thank you so much for doing the video.
Great Video, thank you for sharing. Warm Regards from Queretaro in Mexico.
Damn son, same here!! But I live in Corregidora, wanna build one of these
Good morning, a suggestion for the manufacturer is as follows, in the passage of the UV lamp the wiring runs along the water, it may be better because there is no good system in all filtration and the wiring following the internal flow, if the wiring is non-toxic disregard , an excellent development in filtration, Top.
“ Highly Recommend! ”
Without any doubt at all, Sean is great to work with and really went above and beyond to provide all needs ensure top quality. He also kept us well informed along the way about timing and next steps. It was a pleasure working with him and I would highly recommend him. The water filter is just awesome!! It saves me time I used to spend standing up by the refrigerator to full the coffee maker container of water. No more! Now I have a iSpring Water Systems attached to the sink, in my house and in the basement for cooking and drinking. so fast and so easy. Health is very important, so save your health by using iSpring Water Systems to drink a pure water.
I have a single filter with a carbon and sediment cartridge for drinking... municipal water system. I find the 0 ring blue vessel HATES to come off after its been in place for months. That issue is present even after pressure release. I have resorted to using piie dope on the threads. It is SOME easier this way. I like the brass cleanable pre filter... going to add that. Thanks for the demo.
You need food grade grease on the threads and top o-ring.
Many thanks for the informative presentation
Nice. good explaning there.
thx
Nice install. I'd number or label those filter housings. I'm an old DIY plumber whose had Reverse Osmosis Filter Systems for almost 40 years. If you asked me which filter goes where.... I might get it right. But mostly what I've done is just replace the one that's in each housing with the one like it. So if I got them out of order once.... it'll probably be that way until I go look it up on the internet. Might be out of order for years. I like that 'spin' filter, great concept.
thank you for your speedy response
Very nice ji
Can't stand when plumbers install entire assemblies of plumbing fittings, pipes, and shutoff valves unsupported. It puts stress on the sharkbite fittings and those crimp on connections. Add some blocking to the wall and secure it properly. The main on my house was installed with a water meter, shutoff, PRV, installed completely unsupported. Amazing how it passed local inspection.
BrianCNC shark bite fittings?!? Hope you got insurance bud
Shark bite fittings are for emergency repairs only at my house. I would bodily throw out ANYONE that tries to use those in my house.
Reuben Garcia: But the Shark Bite website says their o-rings are made of EPDM rubber, which I know to be invulnerable. It's used for tough roof membranes and I used a weatherstripping bead made of it on an old house; that weatherstripping never got dry or rigid through about eighteen years of winters & summers. It was always springy. I trust the Shark Bite fitting I installed behind my freezeproof hose bibb.
I love all the "experts" offering their opinions about how to do things directly to the company that produced it.

@@iSpringWaterSystems your copy/paste comment doesn't make sense. I was defending your video
@@Horrble-pg1so LOL!!!
You just got proven wrong.
They don't care about your comments or if they're doing it right, they just care about you buying their stuff.
I installed almost the same system but I added an electronic water descaler. It's kind of interesting how you decided that you have a better system for fastening the crimp rings than the engineers who designed Pex. They say you should use one ring only, and place it back about an eighth of an inch from the end of the tube. And you should crimp it once only. They even provide a handy go/no-go gauge with your crimper so you can make sure the rings are secure. Your way might be almost as good.
His way is better. Have you considered WHY Pex only says to use one ring and one crimp? I'll give you a minute to think about it.
Because if they recommended two rings and two crimps, their product would be less marketable, and customers would be beaching and moaning about the extra time and expense. However professional plumbers who do enough of this kind of work often see those joints as the first point of failure. Having backup rings, and double checking your crimp only makes good sense.
@@Rick-the-Swift When products like this are designed (by real engineers with college degrees and everything) they designed it from the ground up for the best, most durable option . They don't care if it takes you slightly longer. It just needs to last longer. One ring leaves a cuff of PEX on the joint side that makes it harder to pull thru the ring. And since the inside of the rings are smooth while the barb is not, an extra ring gets you nothing. I've installed PEX for years, and it so much easier and faster that copper or galvanized pipe that no real plumber would gripe if he or she had to install five rings. Buy the rings in bags of 100. They cost almost nothing. If you're estimating a job there's really no point in adding the cost of the rings. Years later, nothing has moved with "only one" ring even with water pressure that is higher than it should be. It's also quicker to install than PVC or CPVC unless you go for the really expensive push fittings.
It is interesting to see idiots try to outsmart the pros because they don't understand how the system works.
@@Rick-the-Swift
Look out for them fancy college degrees! we sure wouldnt be where we are in the world without them! they are the real workers and we would be wise to remember that!
derp. bob z probably watches his wife get sexed down by one of them, while making his wife's kid a sandwich
Very nice professional review
Is big blue the best system
Great video. Thank you.
Very nice. I would like to note that the specs call for a 1/8 to 1/4 gap between the ring and the fitting, so this could fail an inspection. Also, red PEX denotes hot water. Blue or white is best. PEX and filter should have been 1" if the rest of the pipe is that. Spin down filter is on backwards.
Won't you lose pressure with a 1" PEX? Does it cost more both in pipe and tools for 1"? Benefits of 1"?
Color doesn't matter
@@warh0rn You lose less pressure with 1" pex, it also costs more. The only disadvantage is volume of water in the pipe is not ideal for hot water lines, you have to heat up all that extra water and flush more to get it.
@user-mt1wi2co4z ,wrong, there's a reason why they're colored. So color in electrical wire doesn't matter also?
How smart you are Robert!
Awesome, very detailed
Just a tip turn your teflon tape roll the other way it makes it a lot easier to control the tape.
Great demonstration. Thanks
i look a those filter that are huge compare to 3m cuno that i use where i live...what cames to my attention is the pipe fittings.. they are small.. where i live ppr is mostly the standard .. but the mains for a small house is 3/4 and up. 1 kitchen and one toilet. those fittings looks like 1/2 or less.
You can get 1" fittings for 3/4" pex. Less fittings that way.
Chris Hudson
I see in some videos, they put in a bypass pipe with tap. Also a tap both sides of the filters. Just in case there’s any issues with the filters. You can then isolate the filters from the mains and still have running water. Good video anyway 👍
Makes maintenance easy too. Just open the bypass and shut the filter isolations
Good job sir
thanks for this video; Im planning to install a system under my sink.
Don't ad UV Light to your system. You DO NOT want UV Lights. For people who have Thyroid issues, they will develop Cancer or when people drink water and they feel even more thirstier. That is the UV Light affecting the person.
Great vid, as usual. Just felt lazy to read on sites like Home Depot or Healthy Kitchen 101, so I came here. Just one question: how long can the whole system perform well enough before requiring service and maintenance?
NICE UNITS!
Never use plastic to metal on the UV tube. Other then that! Thank you for the demo sir
Yep, the intense UV will break down PVC and PEX alike. I've got a foot of copper extending from both the inlet and outlet of mine, before transitioning to PEX
Do the inlet pipes (that go into the filter - original water) need to be replaced every couple of years and does the PEX pipe make that easier? THANKS GREAT VIDEO!!!!
Excellent video 👍
Absolutely Brilliant 🥳🥳🥳
Great video!
Good work!
Awesome brother 🤙🏼🖖🏼
Why did you use a combination of sharkbite and crimp connections?
good video,thanks for your sharing
Excellent Daniel from Indian I am Service engineering RO UV good work
Great video
Good demo
It's been shown in multiple tests that these filters remove sediment, tastes and odors, and minerals. The minerals removed do not soften water which is one of their big claims. The cost north of $1000 and you have a constant filter replacement built in for the life of the unit. A simple whole house two filter, sediment and taste and odor will do the same for about $150.
James, The little Silfos (Phosphate) pre-filter is supposed to tie up the minerals and thus in theory to soften the water. In fact it only adds the phosphate to bind up the minerals which stay in the water and "doesn't" soften the water.
The Calcium and Magnesium bonding/binding with phosphate "may" be filtered out through the 3 stage filtration. However, I doubt it. It "may" just end up shortening the life of the filter cartridges due to early plugging. In which case the house owner "may" be replacing cartridges more often than expected.
Question, I installed the WSP50P SPIN DOWN filter in the same position as you did, I noticed it has siliphos for treating lime scale. having the next filters in the line effect the siliphos treatment if any?
Hi Tommy Parisi,
Thank you for your question! The siliphos will not be removed by the whole house system due to the micron size of the filters. The siliphos will pass through and continue to treat for scale buildup. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
Best Regards,
iSpring Water Systems LLC
Why don't you stay with 1 inch from filter to filter and then back down to 3/4 into the house?
Very nice!
Thanks for the demo. I would have been perfect if you would have shown the third filter so we know for sure which one is which. Mine did not come labeled.
Hi Dennis. Could you please let me know the model number of the system you got?
hi
I want to put a fluoride reduction filter in line with 2 cintropur filters (activated carbon) nw 25 & sl240 + vortex (a bigger version of your prefilter you clean everymonth), what cartridge filter could I use? Wich shell should I use?
Hi Emmanuel. Thank you for reaching out! You can use our WGB32B whole house system as a shell. As long as your cartridges are 4.5” x 20”, they will fit in our system. However, since you are purchasing filters from other brands, we can’t guarantee that the whole system would work as you expected.

Thank you
Very good. TKS.
Where did you learn all this?
Nicely done. A couple of recommendations - (1) try to avoid the hard right angles in your pex fittings - these can cause significant pressure drops. Better to have long sweeps; (2) - try to stay all 1" until you get out of the filters - better for flow; (3) add some ball valves, boiler drains and pressure gauges to control and measure your water flow.

I’ve heard that every elbow you install will reduce your pressure by around 2psi each. And then the 3/4 fittings are more like 1/2 with those fittings, with all of the elbows and the 3/4” adapters how is the final psi coming out after the entire system? Well water is 50-60psi max before all of the filtration that also reduces psi. I am about to install this system and I am wanting the max water pressure I can get. also what about the system bypass for keeping water running when servicing the system or in case of a system failure?
Hi Adam. Pressure drop is usually negligible. To discuss your case in detail, please give us a call at 678-261-7611 (M-F, 8:30 - 5:30 EST) or email us at support@123filter.com. We are happy to help!
Can this remove the yellowish color of the water?
Can i use those blue containers to greatly increase the water 💦 pressure if I remove the filters inside?
Pressure doesn't change. Only flow changes! Plugged filters will only restrict flow. Trust that helps U.
Would that spin down valve be okay on just a general-purpose reverse osmosis machine used to make water for drinking and plant use? Seems like it would be. Generally 30 to 60 gallons a day

Thanks for the demo
I recently replaced my well pressure tank. I installed a spin down filter before the well tank . Then I installed a single canister filter after the well tank on the main supply lines . I'm still getting iron staining my toilets. Ugh.
So I guess now I'm looking at the 3 stage filter . my question is should I install the spin down filter, the 3 stage filter then the pressure tank? or can I install the 3 stage filter after the well tank . Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm a plumber but not a water filtration specialist. I was thinking to install the spindown filter , then the 3 stage filter , before the well tank the still use the single stage after everything just because it's already there. anyhow again all help is greatly appreciated. Just ignore all the nitpicky comments . I totally understand this is just a basic installation video. Armchair plumbers lol
Hi there. the filters, including spin down filters, should be installed after or downstream of the pressure tank. This is done so that if a filter clogs then it will not damage the pump.
Best ever
Great job ~ I learned a lot? Would you recommend pressure gauges.
Hi Bruce McGee,
Adding the pressure gauges is a preference when the system is installed. The pressure gauges are a useful tool to see the incoming and outgoing psi (water pressure) in and out of the system. This can be used as a tool to see when the filters may be due to be changed.
Thank you,
iSpring Water Systems LLC
Bruce McGee A pressure gauge is necessary for pump switch operation and setting. For filtration, the only time pressure gauges would be useful is during operation of the system to note the pressure drop across the filters. When you notice a significant operating pressure drop it’s a notification to change your filters. There will always be pressure drop across any water system from beginning to end, but it gets more significant as the flow is restricted.
The uv light should be controlled by a flow sensor so that it only turns on when new water enters the metal tube.
What about delay time in the flow sensor?
Cycling the light on and off continously will shorten the bulb life dramatically... they last about a year running full time.
No support for the hoses? Also, touching the UV light with bare fingers can degrade the lamp fast imprinting oils on to the lamp surface.
Would it be a good idea to install a water softener after the filters before the UV light?
Hi Nicolas! Thank you for your question. You can install a water softener after the filters. In that case, the sodium added by the water softener will remain in your water. If you install the softener before the filters, the system will reduce the sodium added from the water softener. Either way is okay depending on your preference. If you have further questions, please contact us at (678)261-7611. We are always happy to help!
I am doing this exact same setup (3/4-in PEX). What is the white colored plastic fitting he is taping at 2:40? I was able to find the 3/4-in PEX Crimp x 1-in MNPT Brass Male Adapter. Wouldn't that work by itself to attach the filter to my 3/4-in PEX?
Hi poshko41,
The video was made by an iSpring customer and he decided to use an additional adapter here. The direct 3/4" Pex x 1" adapter is preferred and make sure that you use plenty of teflon tape. I used exactly 4 wraps of 15" of Blue Monster teflon tape on the fitting in the picture.
sir will the flowrate be affected if you are reducing the diameter of the pipe?
Hi Ra. The flow rate for our whole house systems is around 15 GPM. Normally they won't reduce much pressure。 If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us at 678 261 7611 (M-F 8:30 - 5:30 EST) or email us at support@123filter.com. We are happy to help!
Can't you just use pvc elbows and plumbing adhesive with PEX?
Great Job Sir, Cheers
Can you please tell how can I buy and install myself. Great demonstration,thank you.

How do I solve the immense pressure drop after the system? is there a booster pump i can install after the fact?
Hi dear customer! If water pressure drops immediately after installation of a WGB series system, please take into account that bathtubs, utility sinks, hose bibs, multi-headed showers, body sprayers, or anything that is considered high-flow should be avoided for the first 72 hours. Any high-flow situation within the first 72 hours may cause a temporary carbon blockage.
-To clear the blockage, turn off any running water for at least 10 minutes and resume using water at low or normal flow rates.
-Allow the water to run until the air and carbon has been purged. Water may be cloudy initially as the filters and the system clear of trapped air. New activated carbon filter cartridges may contain loose carbon and air bubbles after the installation/replacement.
If this is not the case, please kindly contact us at support@123filter.com, at (678) 261-7611 M-F 8:30-5:30 EST, or at (470) 560-0012 M-F 8:30-5:30 EST (Messaging only) to properly guide you.

Over time, does this also clean out your current plumbing of any build ups?
Hi,
Yes once installed the system can reduce scale buildup in your home's plumbing and also your appliances such as the water heater, dishwasher, and laundry washing machine.
Thank you,
iSpring Water Systems LLC
no,it doesnt do anything for scale.
Can that UV filter be mounted horizontally? I want to install it in a crawl space that doesn't have a lot of vertical clearance
Hi John. Yes, you can install the UV filter horizontally.
I assume he did this with water flowing basically from right to left because both of his connections for the water supply/house were on the left side in that corner, but if I have my water supply on the left and I want the where it goes into the house on the right I can reverse which order I do this in? Spin down filter on the left followed by the large blue filters in the middle and then the UV filter on the right.
Hi dear customer! Please, follow this configuration/order:
Water Flow -> Spin Down Sediment Filter -> Big Blue System -> UV Filter -> Water Flow ->

What’s the filter life like….?
I know it depends on water usage……buts what the common consensus, quarterly?
Hi Sean. Usually PP sediment filters will last about 3-6 months, while other filters about 6-12 months.
I have a sulfur aerator tank and a water softener. From the pump the water smells like sulfur and there is very little deposit in the bottom of a pot of boiled down water so I don't have much minerals in my water. Will this system replace what I have?
Hi Bob. Thank you for your comment. We really need more information here to give a recommendation. Could you please get your water tested first and then give us a call at 678 261 7611 (M-F, 8:30 - 5:30 EST)? The water test can be done via most universities in your area at a relatively cheap price.
Could all that filtration and UV happen BEFORE the water goes into the tank? I'm on city water (steady pressure--no pump cycle), and am think of adding the water filter... And would use the tank as an emergency storage supply...
Hi Ralph Marshall,
Yes you could install the system and UV sterilizer before a pressure tank or holding tank. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

I DO have a question... Seattle's water is actually very good... 29 ppm... My house is 70 years old and the pipes are original... Lately the hot water side has slowed down so I'm going to take care of that and add one of these set ups I see above... Here's the question... Two products promise to revitalize your water... Something about clusters of molecules, blah blah... One is the Home edge... Basically, sets of propellers just to churn up the water... And the other is an electronic system that uses EM frequencies to alter some ionic blah blah... Are either actually worth anything?
I have this RO system setup. When i test the water after running through the filters the ppm is still the same as not using the system. Am i doing something wrong?

Thank you for your video. I am having a problem at my house where I live. The water has a lot of coarse (yellow coarse) with particles that ranges from powder size to a 1mm size stones. We have two filters already installed (the ones that come long in blue color plastic compartment), in one we use the sediment white replaceable filter and in the second we use the chlorine filter that has a net around it similar to the ones you just showed and none of those is helping at all. Every day we keep cleaning our water valves or mixers lid filters in the toilets and kitchen. Which WSP would you recommend to solve this problem? would i need one or more? thx
Hi Chady. Our WSP50ARB spin down sediment filter should be your best solution. You can get it here: www.amazon.com/iSpring-WSP50ARB-Reusable-Spin-down-Touch-Screen/dp/B07XLP2T2Y.

@@iSpringWaterSystems Hi. Could you briefly explain to us how the UV filter uses electricity without having the need to plug into a socket? And how the lamp inside is changed? Also does it matter if it's oriented vertically as opposed to horizontally like I see other applications? Thank you!
@@Rick-the-Swift Hi Rick,
The UV filters do require electricity and can be mounted either vertically or horizontally. If you have more questions, please call us at 678-261-7611 (M-F, 8:30 - 5:30 EST). We are happy to help.

Does the water have a slower flow speed because of filtering? Thanks.
Hi there. You shouldn’t notice any loss of water pressure. However, if you allow sediment to collect on the screen without regular flushing, this could cause your pressure to drop.

You need a filter AFTER THE UV TO PICK UP THE DEAD BATERIA BODIES. Use a 2 micron
Do you do sales/service in Southern California?
Hi Ish M,
We mainly sell through online retailers such as Amazon, Ebay, HomeDepot.com, Overstock, Walmart.com, Etc. We do offer lifetime support via phone and email, but do not offer installation services or a service to change filters. For installation or service of the system we would recommend a licensed and insured plumber or handy man in your state.

With the plastic Plex pipe coming off the main, you would lose your house ground wouldn't you sir?
I mean it's easy enough to run a jumper wire from the main to the next spot of metal past your UV filter...but I think it would need it to be sure your house doesn't lose its ground..correct?? Thank you.
Hi Gray, thank you for your comment! I'm sorry that we can't offer you advice on electrical issues. We suggest you contact an electrician for matters like this.
My pipe fitting keeps leaking a little bit. Should I try some plumbers putty?
Hi Bob. We recommend purchasing fittings from a plumbing supply store as they seem to fit better than the ones from Home Depot and Lowe's. You also need to use teflon tape specifically for 1" fittings and plenty of it, sometimes 12 - 15 wraps. Some customers do use the putty. If that doesn't stop the leak, please call us at 678-261-7611 (M-F, 8:30 - 5:30 EST). We will help you to solve the issue.
do you drink out of the faucet with this filtration system? and if not would you or would you not recommend it.
Also how much water does it filter a day? where would it be stored?
Hi Vincent. Thanks for reaching out! Here are the answers to your questions.
1) The products in the video are whole house water systems. Although you can drink out of your faucet after this filtration, we recommend installing a reverse osmosis system (like this one: www.amazon.com/iSpring-RCC7AK-Capacity-Drinking-Remineralization/dp/B005LJ8EXU) for safer drinking water.
2) You can filter as much water as you want per day. However, the filters' lifespan is up to 100k gallons of water (depending on your water quality). That means the more water you filter per day, or the worse your water quality is, the more frequently you need to change your filters.
3) The filters should be stored indoors or under shelter to avoid direct sunlight and freezing temperatures.

I purchased the ispring system directly from Amazon and it looks exactly like yours but mine does NOT have the pressure release buttons on top. Do you have any idea why?
Hi TechMAP. Thank you for reaching out. Since over the years we are improving our systems to provide better products for our customers, we removed the pressure release buttons from the latest version of our whole house water systems to prevent potential leakage. If you have more questions, please feel free to contact us at 678 261 7611 (M-F, 8:30 - 5:30 EST) or email us at support@123filter.com. We are happy to help!
Do I need a water softener if I install this system, can somebody answer my question, we recently got a new house and it has a water well system
Hi there. Yes, you still need a water softener if your water is hard: www.123filter.com/ac/salt-free-water-softeners-descaler-conditioner/ispring-wcs45kg-whole-house-water-softener-with-backwash-feature---45000-grain-capacity-for-households-and-business.

Is one water filter efficient enough because that's what I have and do I have to have a certified installer to install filter?
Hi there. Whether one filter is enough or not depends on your water quality. If you have any questions, please give us a call at 678-261-7611 (M-F, 8:30 -5:30 EST).
You don't have to have a certified installer to install our filters. A lot of our customers installed the filters themselves. If you need any help, please feel free to contact us. :)
Is there a filtration system for floride? Or does this filter it out too?
Hi Jesse Huerta,
To remove fluoride you need a system with a Reverse Osmosis Membrane such as our under sink RO systems. This whole house system does NOT remove Fluoride. Please contact our office at 678-261-7611 if you have any questions regarding removal of this specific contaminant.
Thank you,
