Pentek 158204 Water Filter Housing Hey everyone, Tony the Filter Doctor here.
Today we’re looking at the Pentek 158204 filter housing.
Now, the 158204 is an industry standard size housing, which means it receives cartridges
that are approximately 20 inches in length by 2 ½ inches in diameter. This means there
are literally thousands of filter cartridges available in this industry standard size that
will fit into this filter housing, providing you with many options and flexibility for
filtering your water problem. Now, the 158204 has ½ inch female pipe thread
inlet/outlet size. This is a middle size, right between what you would normally expect
for a whole house filter housing, and a smaller size for a drinking water filter.
So, this could go either way. In certain small homes and small applications you could use
this as a whole house water filter housing. But, it’s probably better suited as a drinking
water filter or as a dedicated filter to a specific smaller application. Say, a single
restroom, or your washing machine, or your dishwasher; some application that uses slightly
less water than a whole house application. Now, it does come complete with a pressure
release valve and an O-ring is included, but a mounting bracket is not included, and you
will need one. The weight of this unit plus a filter cartridge plus water, cannot be supported
by your plumbing pipes alone. So make sure you get a separate mounting bracket.
Let me zoom in here closely and show you what this looks like.
Again, this is the Pentek 158204, an industry standard size filter housing, and I’m your
host Tony the Filter Doctor. Thanks for watching.
