OK, this has NOTHING to do with casting or reloading. I'm looking for some advice and there are some bright people here, so here's the issue:
I have a whole house water filter that I plan to relocate so it's easier to access. It uses a standard 10" x 2.5" filter. Those filters are plentiful, cheap and I have a supply of them - so I'm staying with that style. However, I'm not sure I want to continue using my old filter housing (about 24 years old) or buy a new housing when I relocate the filter.
There are lots of different brands of housings that accept that style filter (A.O. Smith, Whrilpool, Culligan, G.E, etc. ) and they all cost between $20 and $60. They all flow about 4 GPM and they all meet my requirements. (pipe size, working pressure, working temp, etc.)
Every last one of them have reviews that range from good to horrible. I understand that the horrible reviews could be due to a poor install performed by an idiot. But, I don't want to buy one that is junk.
Should I just keep the old one that I have ?
Should I take the opportunity to purchase a new filter housing, and if so, which brand?
What say you?
