**Keep in mind that due to the nature of clear plastic housings, they are more prone to damage from pressure spikes (water hammering), and/or mishandling. We recommend handling them with care and installing a pressure regulator/protection valves before the housings.
*Please note that the dimensions of the housings may vary a few millimeters from housing to housing.

*Please note that the warranty does not cover damage caused by mishandling, improper installation, or in situations where the max operating parameters for the product are exceeded.
Additional Options
Standard Housing Spanner
The housing spanner is a tool to assist with the opening of the filter cartridge housing. As water fills the filter housing pressure builds up inside the housing, this fact plus age can make the housing difficult to open by hand. The housing spanner allows an individual to get a better grip on the housing and so makes it easier to open the housing.
Please keep in mind that the housing spanner is purely for opening the housing, do not use the spanner to reseal the housing as it can result in "Over tightening" which can damage the housing's thread leading to leakage and making it very difficult to reopen.
LubriKit+ - O-ring Lubricant
The "Lubrikit+" O-ring Lubricant is specifically designed to lubricate Water Filter Housing O-rings during installation and maintenance. Ideally, a filter housing o-ring should be lubricated not just during the initial installation of a single housings and/or complete filter system, but also after each time maintenance is done on the housing and/or system.
The Lubrikit+ " dropper" design helps to make the application of the lubricant both easier and neater. While other options such as petroleum jelly can be used to lubricate filter housing O-rings, it does tend the make a mess. Also, the "sticky" nature of something like petroleum jelly, can sometimes make it difficult to get the housing open at a later stage.
There are several benefits to keeping a housing's O-ring adequately lubricated:
- Lubricating the O-ring helps to ensure that the O-ring will "seat" correctly inside or on the " sump" (or groove) on the top of the housing's body that the lid will screw onto.
- Lubricating the O-ring will also help to ensure a better seal with the housing
- Lubricating the O-ring will help to make it easier to open and close the housing. Keep in mind when closing a filter housing it should only be done with hands, and not the housing spanner, as this can lead to "over-tightening" the housing leading to either damage or making the housing very difficult to re-open. The housing spanner should on be used for opening the housing.
- Lubricating the O-ring helps to protect the O-ring from damage due to friction from opening and closing the housing repeatedly, another reason why the lubricant should be re-applied after each maintenance cycle. Please keep in mind, that despite lubrication, the O-rings on housings can sometimes be damaged from old age, and/or from being " Pinched" (or caught) between the housings base (bottom section) and its lid. At which point the O-ring or Complete Housing may need to be replaced, depending the the design.
