As a plumber just gotta say wow. You are very very thorough with your work and I've never used cushion clamps lol very well crafted and very clean work.
Only think I'd do is use a silicone lube for that O-ring for easy maintenance in the future. But otherthan that flawless

Thanks for showing all the little steps like doping and clamping instead of cutting them out. speeding it up but leaving it in was nice

I googled how to install a home water filter and I picked yours to watch / learn. I will say you made that look so easy which I am sure it was for you. I might attempt it but will definitely need to watch your video as I am doing it. Thank you.

Always a joy to watch a competent person doing even the simple task of adding a water filter, . This is like finding a needle in the YouTube heystack of junk videos asking for "clicks".
Very well done

I installed a whole house water filtration system 15 years ago. Water tastes better. Keep up the great videos.

[larryseibold]

good video. one added note: to test the delta P across the two gauges, the water needs to be flowing at that time, so you need to open a faucet (say 2.5 gpm) and then read the delta. if greater than 10-12 psi, replace.

You went Above and Beyond, as any homeowner should do. I had to explain to my GF (she was getting home upgrades done) that if you don't tell Contractors how you want it, that they will do it the easiest/cheapest way possible.

Clean install. Remember to change your clear filter housings every 5 years or as recommended by the manufacturer. Clear housings have a tenancy to crack over time and do have a service life. Also, while the pressure gages are cute, those things tend to fail in 2-3 years. You usually can tell when the pressure is low just by using the faucet.

Lastly, going straight to a 1 micron filter doesnt work in many well water situations. I know most have to start with a 25, then a 5, and if really desired, put a third housing for 1.

First time watcher and now subscriber. I did a similar job using Propex. The things I learned...use heavier screws than drywall screws. Second...put some lube on the filter canister threads and rubber top gasket. In a year its going to be a bear to back the canister out to service using a flimsy plastic wrench. Good video.

Thank you for this. Just installed one in my home with the help of this video

[davidrowell]

Very nice job! You are obviously the "King of Pex."

[williamworkman]

Really appreciate it. Been trying to determine what is overbuilding and what is not, so I appreciate you showing the system you chose.

You did an excellent job in the plumbing and set up of the filter. Thank you for sharing. 👍

Well done sir, well done. Ole boy used cushion clamps on the brass- goes to show a nice, fine touch is added to his workmanship. It’s refreshing to see more and more people “give a shit” these days. 🤜🤛👍👍👍

[joesanchez]

Great video!
The Teflon tape and pipe dope is something I did myself today.
Used straight Teflon tape and well I had to take part my connections and redo them I was using nylon fittings.
Like the gauge idea 💡
Thanks for the share

[janetyeoman]

Nice installation on a rural home. Love the Robertson screws👍🇨🇦. Our filter system also has the UV light 👍🇨🇦

[KhmerUSA]

I don't know you are a plumbing or video creator. but you did very good job on both thing. it's very clear enough. thanks

[mrmike]

This whole set up makes me wanna learn soldering techniques for plumbing

[sharnicole]

I’ll probably never do this. I didn’t even know what any of this was before the video!!! You did great & we’re very informative.
