If I am using a large rock well cover could this be done outside near the submerged pump? There is no room under crawl space where my air tank is at and the Only other option I have is in the garage. Builds put the hot water heater inside a elevated separate cabinet like area but it would not be easy to get in there to plumb or replace a filter as needed.
As a plumber just gotta say wow. You are very very thorough with your work and I've never used cushion clamps lol very well crafted and very clean work. Only think I'd do is use a silicone lube for that O-ring for easy maintenance in the future. But otherthan that flawless
I googled how to install a home water filter and I picked yours to watch / learn. I will say you made that look so easy which I am sure it was for you. I might attempt it but will definitely need to watch your video as I am doing it. Thank you.
You're welcome. If you decide to tackle the job, make sure to take the time to plan it out and get all the fittings you think you might need. This will help make the job go smoothly. Good Luck!
You went Above and Beyond, as any homeowner should do. I had to explain to my GF (she was getting home upgrades done) that if you don't tell Contractors how you want it, that they will do it the easiest/cheapest way possible.
Indeed. This chap is pretty good. I would recommend having the water tested and of affordable install associated filtration systems that apply. UL, Iron, water softeners, carbon and Ro filtration systems should be consider based what kind of water quality your looking for and where you want the water. To what fixtures. He did a good job on the renovation of this place.
good video. one added note: to test the delta P across the two gauges, the water needs to be flowing at that time, so you need to open a faucet (say 2.5 gpm) and then read the delta. if greater than 10-12 psi, replace.
Was going to comment how the gauges would show the same pressure but yes if you run enough water in the system that should show if the flow rate is low thru the filter and I would do a two faucet test.
Hi John. Do you find that the kettle and water in general is better. I guess what I'm after is making sure it clears all the toxins away in it. What brand and one did you go for and would you say it's a good investment?
@@denhaagtrader8781we have a UV Light Tongen, that is what clean the water from Bacteria. Hold house Filtration system. 🏠 and lastly we have a Water softener. The best investment ever.
Always a joy to watch a competent person doing even the simple task of adding a water filter,. This is like finding a needle in the TH-cam heystack of junk videos asking for "clicks". Very well done Sir.....
Clean install. Remember to change your clear filter housings every 5 years or as recommended by the manufacturer. Clear housings have a tenancy to crack over time and do have a service life. Also, while the pressure gages are cute, those things tend to fail in 2-3 years. You usually can tell when the pressure is low just by using the faucet. Lastly, going straight to a 1 micron filter doesnt work in many well water situations. I know most have to start with a 25, then a 5, and if really desired, put a third housing for 1.
The Clear housings also have a lower PSI rating than the Blue but are still within the ratings of most residential systems. Put a healthy dab of silicon grease on the sump threads. The tightening of the sump with the wrench is about 1/8-1/4 turn only.
First time watcher and now subscriber. I did a similar job using Propex. The things I learned...use heavier screws than drywall screws. Second...put some lube on the filter canister threads and rubber top gasket. In a year its going to be a bear to back the canister out to service using a flimsy plastic wrench. Good video.
Great video! The Teflon tape and pipe dope is something I did myself today. Used straight Teflon tape and well I had to take part my connections and redo them I was using nylon fittings. Like the gauge idea 💡 Thanks for the share
Well done sir, well done. Ole boy used cushion clamps on the brass- goes to show a nice, fine touch is added to his workmanship. It’s refreshing to see more and more people “give a shit” these days. 🤜🤛👍👍👍
i installed 3 of these outside in the vegas sun. The system being 20" allows normal flow. Combined with Pentek filters... sed, carbon block, MAG-chlorine-iron. does well. The idea is that the UV and heat will destroy anything the filters may have missed. filtered to 1Micron. Clear casing. 1 1/4 fed lines. filter the 4000 sqft home easy.
Super good video and a very nice installation! Much appreciated. I learned proper planning and common sense is the key. As you said, who would put water lines above an electrical panel? Yep, attention to details especially the big ones! Thanks again....Tom
I went with building a 2 stage system since the city likes to over chlorinate the water in the winter. I'm running a 5 micron sediment filter in front of a 5 micron carbon filter.
Ya that 1 micron filter is gonna need to be replaced so often. A 2 stage system is way better. Even a 30 first then 1 micron 2nd works so much better. Depending on your sediment pre filters of course
My city also over chlorinates their water too. What's the best ideal setup if it's really just chlorine and not sediment issues? Same as you described? Whats the effects on chrloine with CPVC and pex. My house is all CPVC but I just got the tools to do PEX A and I want to go that route with everything eventually. I heard pex doesn't like chlorine idk about cpvc though.
If you suffer with silt in water, then perhaps two-stage filtration a better idea, especially if you intend to use a UV unit post filtration. 20 micron filter first, followed by 5 micron filter pre-UV. Opaque filter housings will discourage any algal growth in filters, which should be changed at least 6 monthly.
Not really an issue in a dark basement, and you give up the ability to check the filters visually, which probably means more clean filters get discarded and make more money for manufacturers.
Two comments: 1. You do not mention the process of changing the filter cardridge. We had a whole house filter installed 6 years ago when our house was built, but the plumber did not leave the instructions for changing the filter cartridge. I found the instructions online and, for 5 years, in accordance with the instructions, I went through the laborious task of draining all the pipes in the house to relieve the pressure so I could remove the filter housing. Finally, a plumber told me I could just isolate the filter by closing the valves on either side of the filter (which were incorrectly labeled), pushing a button on the filter to release the pressure, and removing the housing. The whole process takes me 5 minutes now. 2. Buying cheap filter cartridges on Amazon saves no money because they only last a few weeks and do a poor job. That same plumber told me to buy the original manufacturer's brand filters (Watts Pure Water, in my case). They cost 4 times more, but the water tastes much better and they last about 3 times longer. If you are going to have a water filter, it is worth spending a little extra money on the cartridge to have cleaner water. I hope this information is helpful.
Only thing I would fault is using the wrench to tighten the filter If it leaks when hand tightened add some food safe silicon grease to the O-ring and also the threads of the filter. Nice Job. Edit: Ohh and the gauges would be read with water flowing. They will read the same when no water is flowing regardless of how clogged the filter is.
Great point about the gauges! I was confused for the first year after I installed my water filter as to why they were reading the same but it was because the water wasn't flowing at the time that i was reading them as you stated.
If your getting sediment youre probably getting more than just that, have the water tested. I did a job like this on my moms house. She bought 14 acres in the country and the water was ORANGE, and gritty, toilets tubs everything stained orange.. smelled bad too. My mom loves to toss money away, and spent $900 on a 20 inch sediment filters install. That worked, for the orange water and the grit but it still stank like metal.. and tasted bad, it also was now yellow in color. I decided to order a 3 stage whole house 20 inch filter system on black friday. I also ordered a heavy metal filter media. I bypassed the old water softner which is pretty much done and doesnt work. Then i removed that sediment filter the plumbers installed. I then installed the 3 stage filter, this one uses a 5 micron sediment filter, then a 5 micron carbon filter, then a iron and magnanese filter.. Then i took the filter the plumbers installed and i put it right after, and removed the sediment filter and installed a heavy metal/activated carbon filter. After doing this, the water is now blueish in the tub, and clear in the glass, smells and tastes like good bottle water. However, for added assurance, I am installing a 5 stage RO system under the kitchen sink, This things 5 stages are a sediment filter, a carbon block, then a 2nd carbon block, RO membrane, and then a coconut carbon block. So basically the water is filtered through the house filters i did, then 5 more stages for the kitchen sink... way over kill maybe ? But for cooking, drinking, and giving water to the animals etc.. well worth it especially how nasty the water was before. I am extremely upset though that this plumbing company charged my mom 980$ for ONE sediment filter.. that 20 inch house filter is 50$ on amazon, and the 20 micron sediment filter is like 30$ for a pack of 3... They used maybe 2 feet of pex piping and plastic elbows.. and the crimp connections.. all together material cost was like $100. Took them aparently 40 min to install. and they made a 800$ profit.. not happy
For survival it works when the electric goes out. I decide to buy, and get this... A Gravity filtered hot/cold water dispenser with self cleaning UV sterile Technology. It uses all and any of the great filters so I can choose the best.. I bought one for my GYM and over 30 members bought one for their homes. For the price you get a lot more for your money. You tube won't let me show the site were bought it, I don't know why I think they think it is spamming but if you go to purall at US on the end you can figure it out. Just wanted everyone to know because I could have saved 400 dollars and bought this one first. God bless...
It’s crazy that in our amazing country witch I love very much that we have to buy junk fittings from another country that has no quality control! I’ve experienced the same problem that u mentioned about fittings way to many times. Thread cutting in other countries are horrible. Bring back American jobs and then us as Americans have to take pride in our jobs and make a great product. Sorry for the rant but when I heard u say that it sent my Blood Pressure right up. Really enjoyed your vid. Thank u.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. Maybe someday I will be able to increase the volume, but right now I'm a tradesperson first and TH-camr second. Have to pay the bills 🙂 Thanks again! Take care!
In our house, which is my parents', we have had underground well water & septic tank for nearly 40 years now, as we are past city limits. We used to have a water softener but that eventually broke. Never really had filter. I am thinking of getting city water & city sewer, as we are actually at the city limit, we are only in county, but I don't know the costs yet. But if did get it, I would still want some use out of the well water & septic tank, perhaps some certain faucets & toilets, so I don't know if that will make things a little complicated. Anyway, we don't really drink the well water, we buy bottled water & also put "cleaner" tap water in many jugs from another building of ours that we then transport to this house to use that tap water for cooking & additional drinking. The weird thing is now we are one of the last houses in our area that have been around for that many decades & a lot of neighborhoods have been getting built & popping up around us. I have to wonder if that will make the costs of getting city water & sewer a bit less money. We shall see. Installing filters is one way, but you do have to accrue the costs of replacement filters as well. We do get that type of sediment as seen in the video, as well as seeing iron bacteria & some sand. I could at least install a centrifugal filter to remove the sand, but I would have to research on that first.
very good. I want to add a filter to one like you put in.. my iron has dropped to .8 ppm and will try with second filter to see how far iron will drop .
It’s common everywhere man. Not the best design, yeah. But, water lines are the means of every secondary ground in residential applications. So, in theory, the electric will ground out if it travels to the water lines somehow
Well done video. I installed two of these in parallel on my well system to avoid ANY drop in pressure. I also use 5 micron carbon block filter elements. I was seriously considering the use of pre and post pressure gauges, but with a parallel filter system, they may not show any differences until LONG after the filter elements need to be replaced. I simply change both elements at a 1 year interval.
@@raysmusic49 Yes it works great. I'm using the large 4.5" x 20" filters and I change the elements once each year. I also have a UV sterilizer and my last water test at a commercial lab was excellent.
Great video. But my only concern was the water & sanitary piping directly over the Electrical Panel. Not good. Should be panned or keep 6 ft clearance above the top of the panel.
I had been using piping in my house for the last 22 years. About two years ago I installed Pelican full setup of sediment, carbon and then UV filters. After 6 months after installation my main outlet line got clogged. After checking it, I discovered big clumps of laundry soap that blocked the outlet. We switched to liquid soap and a year later we had our main outlet line blocked again. This time it was a layer of thick, hardened soap that blocked the inlet inside the septic tank. Once I disconnected newly installed filters, I no longer have any issues. Please help me understand what could be causing changes in water chemistry that cause water not to dilute the laundry or dishwasher soaps and yet causing them to harden when they hit the septic system. I live in town where the PFOA/PFAS are very real and concerning factors. Looking forward to any comments that help me address this issue.
Just buy a Whirlpool whole house filter which has auto backwash and don't worry about changing filters all the time, simpler and no doubt cheaper in the long run too. Nice install job though.
That works too and they are nice systems, but it's in a totally different price bracket. Whirlpool WHELJ1 is currently $649.00 CAD, this filter housing was $69.99 CAD.
@@PROSDIY Yes it is more money, I've had both and I'll take the WHELJ1. I'm using the Kenmore version of it now and I've had it for 15 years. I replaced the carbon in it once about 7 years ago and still going strong. I'll change the carbon again soon. I think it was well worth the money.
Great video and install! I have an old boiler system and I am looking to install a house filter similar to the one you installed. My question is, did you have to do anything special with the boiler on the initial emptying of the water lines? Did you need to repressurize the boiler system after install? Maybe you have a shutoff ball valve installed before the boiler that I missed. Thanks!
Looking at your video it looks like you have sections of threaded copper pipe? I am an amateur and didn't even know that existed, if that is what it is. Would you mind telling me what the pipe sections are? Thanks ...

You should add grease to the filter threads. Makes the difference when it comes time to change the filter.
ONLY food grade. Try some Tier 1 FG silicone or mollykote
I'd suggest to place lubricant on the filter canister seals so that removal for filter replacement is easier.

Thanks for this amazingly informative video
great job, nice video!
Awesome vid!!!
Good install putting water lines above the electrical. Wow.
Not unlike many business network closets/rooms, where they hang the AC unit above racks which contain cabling and gear. LOL
It’s common everywhere man. Not the best design, yeah. But, water lines are the means of every secondary ground in residential applications. So, in theory, the electric will ground out if it travels to the water lines somehow
Well done video.
I installed two of these in parallel on my well system to avoid ANY drop in pressure. I also use 5 micron carbon block filter elements.
I was seriously considering the use of pre and post pressure gauges, but with a parallel filter system, they may not show any differences until LONG after the filter elements need to be replaced.
I simply change both elements at a 1 year interval.
Did it work? Im thinking about doing that on my well
@@raysmusic49 Yes it works great. I'm using the large 4.5" x 20" filters and I change the elements once each year.
I also have a UV sterilizer and my last water test at a commercial lab was excellent.
Nice job. :) Now a little sink caulking :)
Great done 👍👍👍
Great job.
You did great
Super video!!!
Nice video!!
Great video. But my only concern was the water & sanitary piping directly over the Electrical Panel. Not good. Should be panned or keep 6 ft clearance above the top of the panel.
Nice video very interesting
Well done, thanks!
Great video!
Pretty good thx
I had been using piping in my house for the last 22 years. About two years ago I installed Pelican full setup of sediment, carbon and then UV filters. After 6 months after installation my main outlet line got clogged. After checking it, I discovered big clumps of laundry soap that blocked the outlet. We switched to liquid soap and a year later we had our main outlet line blocked again. This time it was a layer of thick, hardened soap that blocked the inlet inside the septic tank. Once I disconnected newly installed filters, I no longer have any issues. Please help me understand what could be causing changes in water chemistry that cause water not to dilute the laundry or dishwasher soaps and yet causing them to harden when they hit the septic system. I live in town where the PFOA/PFAS are very real and concerning factors. Looking forward to any comments that help me address this issue.
Recommend having some sort of Union on each side to disconnect and replace the filter casing if needed
If you use shark bites fittings you don’t need any of that shark bites is easy removable
@@jusokicin8105 shark bites have an o ring in them and you shouldn't be removing and reusing them.
Nice job.
Just buy a Whirlpool whole house filter which has auto backwash and don't worry about changing filters all the time, simpler and no doubt cheaper in the long run too. Nice install job though.
That works too and they are nice systems, but it's in a totally different price bracket. Whirlpool WHELJ1 is currently $649.00 CAD, this filter housing was $69.99 CAD.
@@PROSDIY Yes it is more money, I've had both and I'll take the WHELJ1. I'm using the Kenmore version of it now and I've had it for 15 years. I replaced the carbon in it once about 7 years ago and still going strong. I'll change the carbon again soon. I think it was well worth the money.
Well done
thanks you
good video
thank you for such a helpful video!
Should install the viega system for your water it’s amazing
Great video and install! I have an old boiler system and I am looking to install a house filter similar to the one you installed. My question is, did you have to do anything special with the boiler on the initial emptying of the water lines? Did you need to repressurize the boiler system after install? Maybe you have a shutoff ball valve installed before the boiler that I missed. Thanks!
Beautiful
Great Video. Thanks!!
great video Thanks
bro this is awesome
I like the bypass design, what is the yellow one? extra outlet for water hose? Thanks for the video.
Looking at your video it looks like you have sections of threaded copper pipe? I am an amateur and didn't even know that existed, if that is what it is. Would you mind telling me what the pipe sections are? Thanks ...
These are threaded brass nipples (3/4" brass threaded nipples in the video). They come in different lengths and are available at most hardware stores.
Nice good job.
