Express Water Filter Change

It's been almost a year since we installed our Express Water Standard Whole House Filter System, so it was time to replace the filters. I can't begin to describe how amazed I was with the level of sediment it prevented from entering our home drinking water! A thick layer of iron/rust was on our sediment filter which you can see in our YouTube video. As an #ExpressWaterPartner, I'm grateful to have the opportunity to share this hugely beneficial system with everyone who owns a home. With an Express Water Whole House Filter System, like this one, you can filter out sediment, dirt, chlorine, total organic carbon, pesticides, industrial solvents, and more! It's an essential feature of any home's plumbing. #ad

1. When reinstalling the sediment filter, fill the filter housing with a little water by slightly turning on the inlet. This will have the filter float in the housing so it can catch the pipe in the cap where the hole in the filter needs to sit. They all need to seat properly, but the sediment filter is the one that moves around the most.
2. You don't need to tighten the housing that much. All it does is make it harder to take off next time. Next time you change the filters, try just slightly tightening past hand tight. As you said in the video, if it's not tight enough, it's easy to tighten more.
3. Do not turn on the bypass when changing the filters. This will cause filthy water to fill your pipes if someone turns on the water in your house while you're changing the filters. Just change the filters at a time when nobody is using the water. Bypass is emergency only.
4. When turning the system back on, do not turn on the outlet valve first. This will cause house water to run backwards in your filter system.
5. When turning on the inlet valve, do it slowly, and while the housings are slowly filling with water, press the red button at the top to let the air out of the housings. Move from right to left as the housings fill with water to let the air out. This keeps the air from entering your house pipes. You could also just keep the red button down on the left-most housing while all three fill with water and displace the air.
6. With that "cage" mount system, there are cases where the wrench will not be able to get on the left-most housing's grooves if the middle housing is already installed due to the filter housing and metal bar blocking the wrench from catching -- it's rare, but it has happened to me. Thus, I like to do right-most, left-most, center.

Awesome. Thank you. Good tips! I added a pressure relief faucet off from the filter loop that empties into the work sink in my garage. Makes the pressure relief/flushing part so much easier.

Thanks! Every now and then, need to come back to your video to make the change😅

’m in the market for a whole house water system and saw your videos on the system. Can you please provide an update of how the system is performing since you’ve installed it? Thanx

[TheYellingDingo]

Thanks for this! Helped me change out the filters on my dad's system without any issues

Thank you for recording and posting this valuable educational video.

Good Job! short, concise and to the point. I like the advised of cleaning the three containers with bleach before installing new filters. Could you provide a video for changing filter on Express Water RO system with alkaline filter? or provide a link. Thanks in advance

Great video. can you please show the other filters when you take them out and show what they look like next time you do this.

Awesome video! Thanks for posting and doing the hard work. and it’s a really nice system! Hard to get accurate results stupid test stripes aren’t very reliable.

PSI drops significantly low on the valve next to outlet. What to do at this point?

Any idea why my KDF filter was cracked after only 5 weeks of use? It plugged up the ACB filter and resulted in sudden pressure loss. Well water with pump set at 60psi

[james]

does it matter what order the filters are place? Nice video?

[zuuzuka]

Hi do you know what's the reson the system can be really loud?

[derekjohnson]

Are the filters are very tight what do you use to get it lose

[TheIntellect]

Nice video but I'm guessing you didn't use a level when you installed the unit on the wall. 😂🤔

[ginofultano]

You didn't mention bleeding the air out as the new filters are filling.

[smirkinatu]

It appears that you placed the water filtration series after the water softener. Is that correct? Why did you chose to do it that way instead of vice versa? Thank you.
