water filter housing - dannymarilyn - 03-01-2024

During our very frigid cold snap, our water filter housing in the wet bay cracked. After much consternation,
I've found that a Pentair Pentek 150072 is a perfect replacement. This unit has the square type threads and mounts from the top.

No idea of this is the original or not. Just what is installed in our #277, 1991 model that we have had since 2015.

I found this one on Amazon.

Happy miles!

Watch for a variation in the mount thread depth boss. I use several of these on a rural property.

This last freeze broke all of mine. The replacements had a taller thread boss, so the new clear housing will not seal on an old base mount. I’m having to replace all the mounts too.

The new replacement fit perfectly. Seals perfectly!
