Followup Question on Water Filter Cartridge Replacement
Yesterday I asked about my well pressure problem, and the consensus is I
need to replace my filter cartridge. The existing filter/cartridge have no obvious brand/model identifying information. There is a clear plastic container about 5 1/2 inches in height, and the cartridge inside has fine metallic windings around a cylindrical core, about 2 1/4 inches in height. Most generic cartridges I see online are 9 inches tall. There is a spring under the cartridge inside the plastic housing, and under the assembly there is a water release valve. Any insight as to what type of filter cartridge I have, and where to go to find a replacement? |

Followup Question on Water Filter Cartridge Replacement
Pull the cartridge out and bring it to a plumbing supply to match it up.
With the cartridge out, you can determine if it was what caused your problem "Dimitrios Paskoudniakis" wrote in message ...

"Dimitrios Paskoudniakis" wrote in message Any insight as to what type of filter cartridge I have, and where to go to find a replacement? I don't have a clue, but I know what I'd do. Instead of playing around trying to find a replacement, replace the entire setup and in the future use a standard sized cartridge available at any home supply, plumbing, or hardware store. The cartridge should be replaced every 1 to 3 months depending on the particular problem. |

They seem to have just about everything. Thanks for the tip. I called, and they told me what I have is not a water filter, but a water strainer, for capturing larger particles. They said all I need to do is pull out the cartridge, clean it, then put it back, and it never needs to be replaced. |
