Whole House Water Filter
for Chlorine or Sediment Removal
This exceptionally tough and versatile stainless steel filter vessel is perfectly sized for residential or light industrial applications. Economical to maintain, it uses four standard 2.5" x 20" cartridges and is ideal for either sediment filtration or chemical/chlorine removal.
With sediment cartridges, it can support very high flow rates. With carbon block cartridges (like the MatriKX+5 2-micron carbon block shown in the picture), it provides long-term chlorine/chemical removal and relatively high flow rates.
Constructed of 100% stainless steel (#316L), it will withstand pressures of up to 150 psi and temperatures to 250 degrees (housing only — most cartridges limit temperatures severely, although we can supply high temperature sediment cartridges).
The top plate that holds the cartridges is adjustable, which adds versatility and allows the use of eight 9.75" inch cartridges rather than four 20" cartridges, if desired.
With the convenient clamp band (see picture below), changing cartridges couldn't be easier.
Large 2" in and out ports allow for installation on virtually any residential system.
Separate drains (1/2") are provided for both unfiltered and filtered water chambers.

This is the premium unit, SS42p, with legs and gauges. Pressure gauges offer an objective method of determining when filter cartridges need replacement.
Additional Photos
View from the top shows the four stainless steel rods that hold the filter cartridges.
To load cartridges, just drop the four cartridges over the rods and replace the cap. The standard cartridge load is four 2.5" X 20", but the unit has enough flexibility to allow use of eight 2.5" X 9.75" (standard drinking water size cartridges) if desired. This provides great flexibility in cartridge selection. “Knife-edge” seals on both ends of the cartridge assure trouble-free performance.
The vessel is held together by a single heavy-duty clamp, making cartridge replacement quick and easy.
