HydronixHF2-10CLWH12, 10" Clear Housing with White Flat Cap For RO & Filtration Systems, 1/2" Ports

best clear housing ever ! Super cheap ! teflon tape and shes perfect! not one drop leak! lube the black O ring a bit for no leaks and tighten top housing till it bites into the cartridge...my second purchase !

I used the filter on an Airstream rebuild I’m doing. It mounted easily with the flat filter top and I like the clear housing for a visual check how the filter is doing. Good product.

All Plastic use a lot of Teflon tape to seal. As others have said it is hard to get a leak proof seal. I used brass on the outlet and the threads fit tighter. I also tried nylon and plastic 1/2" MPT and those bottom out on the head seat. The inlet set actually cracked inward but housing head still usable . I bout 4 of them and one was missing an o-ring, you cannot find at hardware and Amazon does not sell them. It was 90 days until I got around to installing, to late to return. So check your order right away! Finally found 0-ring online. Don't bother calling Hydronix if you need much detail they refer to a dealer and dealer knows even less. I had to buy the bracket separately white off of >-bay shipped from China, even then not low cost. I definitely would not use these in a commercial installation, to much trouble to bring online. Even though price is good I will try another brand with more parts available. PS, o-ring part# is HF2/3-oring and it fits the HF2 and HF3 .

Works good and solid build. You have to tighten quite a lot to make a good seal so it’s not easy to screw on and off. Best for applications that don’t need to refill often. The wall bracket is sturdy. I paired this with a standard empty 10” cartridge which I filled with calcite to neutralize tankless water heater condensate before draining into cast iron waste water pipe.

This is not being used for RO just to house the above filters placed in connection with each other.I have placed these parts in combination and have changed the water Quality of my dirty tasting and sometimes fish tank smelling water. To water that looks smells and tastes as good as or better than the bottled water I have been drinking for the last years. And @ $4.00 a week the initial cost is recuperated in as short as 8 weeks. This breaks down to $0.47 cents a day down from $0.57 cents for fresh clean water not in plastic bottles to be heated up in my vehicle. Not to include that I have been adding to the landfills by emptying Plastic bottles at the rate of 40 plus a week… This was and is a great investment in my health... This is on my Water inlet so I use this water for everything.

I purchased two of these to upgrade my the water filtration system in my new RV. When they arrived, I really liked the housings. They looked hefty and seemed pretty good quality for the price. I settled on these because of the price and pretty positive reviews. I installed them following the other suggestions for using a generous amount of PTFE tape on the fitting threads.Well today I tested the system... and I couldn't be more disappointed or angered with this product. I had both canisters on tight (no filters installed yet). I pressurized the system to about 35 psi and these things leaked... boy, did they leak... like seriously leaked... not a drip now and then.. a nearly constant drip. By the time a grabbed a towel and shut off the water, the whole front storage compartment of the RV was wet.I studied the housings to locate the leaks. One of the threaded fittings was leaking a little. I guess I wasn't generous enough with the tape on that one. However, the majority of the water was leaking from where the canister threads into the head. BOTH were leaking from the same spot where the top of the canister meets the head. Based on that, I figured that I didn't tighten them enough. I cranked down on them as hard as I could and they leaked just as much. I even carefully cleaned the top of the canister, threads, and head in the event that some dirt was preventing a good seal. No luck, still leaked. See the attached photos.This product really needs a rubber o-ring where the two parts thread together and meet. I think these things were rated for something like 75 psi, if they can't handle half that pressure, then these things are seriously defective. If one was leaking... okay, maybe got a bad one, it happens.. but BOTH!? I really want to make these work as I'm not happy about crawling back under there and dismantling them. I thought about trying to get a gasket of some sort or putting PTFE tape on the canister threads. However, I don't want to take the chance that they may start leaking again and risk serious water damage to a brand new RV. Since I made this modification, the warrantee won't cover something like this . I also don't see the purpose of trying to make something function that should initially function correctly. What a waste of money and time! I'm only glad these were terrible right from the start rather than discovering they leaked at a later time with a soggy floor and water damage.SAVE YOUR MONEY AND YOUR TIME. Don't buy this poorly made product and risk getting water damage wherever you install it, otherwise, put a bucket under it just in case.

A well made product. Thick plastic, good gasket. BUTThe instruction paper has print on it so small i needed amagnifier to read it. and my eyes r in good condition.Other than the small print. DON"T forget to lube the GASKET.It's on the inside of the clear plastic housing. i used mineral oilinstead of silicone.

I use this to filter water for brewing beer. They work great. They are made of plastic material, so be careful if you are planning on threaded metal nipples into them. I bought some polyethylene nipples to hopefully keep that from happening - so far so good. With a bit of teflon tape on the threads i was able to get everything to seal up nicely without much fuss. Pair it will some RV hose and and a nice cartridge filter you have a cheap and easy portable water filter. I'm not sure why it took me so long to buy something like this with the amount of money spent on store-bought water for my lighter beers. I guess i always imagined them being a lot more expensive than a couple dozen gallons of store bought water.
