[@Rick-the-Swift]

@John McGee Could you explain what all is wrong? I think it would benefit SWS and the viewers. I'm not sure the pex will swell 2.5 inches like he says, bu the rest seems pretty straightforward.

[@rsilvers129]

Very nice. I would like to note that the specs call for a 1/8 to 1/4 gap between the ring and the fitting, so this could fail an inspection. Also, red PEX denotes hot water. Blue or white is best. PEX and filter should have been 1" if the rest of the pipe is that. Spin down filter is on backwards.

[@warh0rn]

Won't you lose pressure with a 1" PEX? Does it cost more both in pipe and tools for 1"? Benefits of 1"?

[@KaosHappens]

Color doesn't matter

[@KaosHappens]

@@warh0rn You lose less pressure with 1" pex, it also costs more. The only disadvantage is volume of water in the pipe is not ideal for hot water lines, you have to heat up all that extra water and flush more to get it.

[@waynet8327]

​@user-mt1wi2co4z ,wrong, there's a reason why they're colored. So color in electrical wire doesn't matter also?

[@SullySupa]

Also has CPVC and PEX too close to the UV light. It needs to be hard piped with copper going in and out of the UV filter for some distance to reduce UV exposure breaking down the polymers in the PVC and PEX.

[@BobZed]

I installed almost the same system but I added an electronic water descaler. It's kind of interesting how you decided that you have a better system for fastening the crimp rings than the engineers who designed Pex. They say you should use one ring only, and place it back about an eighth of an inch from the end of the tube. And you should crimp it once only. They even provide a handy go/no-go gauge with your crimper so you can make sure the rings are secure. Your way might be almost as good.

[@Rick-the-Swift]

His way is better. Have you considered WHY Pex only says to use one ring and one crimp? I'll give you a minute to think about it. Because if they recommended two rings and two crimps, their product would be less marketable, and customers would be beaching and moaning about the extra time and expense. However professional plumbers who do enough of this kind of work often see those joints as the first point of failure. Having backup rings, and double checking your crimp only makes good sense.

[@BobZed]

@@Rick-the-Swift When products like this are designed (by real engineers with college degrees and everything) they designed it from the ground up for the best, most durable option . They don't care if it takes you slightly longer. It just needs to last longer. One ring leaves a cuff of PEX on the joint side that makes it harder to pull thru the ring. And since the inside of the rings are smooth while the barb is not, an extra ring gets you nothing. I've installed PEX for years, and it so much easier and faster that copper or galvanized pipe that no real plumber would gripe if he or she had to install five rings. Buy the rings in bags of 100. They cost almost nothing. If you're estimating a job there's really no point in adding the cost of the rings. Years later, nothing has moved with "only one" ring even with water pressure that is higher than it should be. It's also quicker to install than PVC or CPVC unless you go for the really expensive push fittings. It is interesting to see idiots try to outsmart the pros because they don't understand how the system works.

Health is very important, so save your health by using iSpring Water Systems to drink a pure water.

[@brettnye23]

Never use plastic to metal on the UV tube. Other then that! Thank you for the demo sir

[@philthycoder]

Yep, the intense UV will break down PVC and PEX alike. I've got a foot of copper extending from both the inlet and outlet of mine, before transitioning to PEX

[@briancnc]

Can't stand when plumbers install entire assemblies of plumbing fittings, pipes, and shutoff valves unsupported. It puts stress on the sharkbite fittings and those crimp on connections. Add some blocking to the wall and secure it properly. The main on my house was installed with a water meter, shutoff, PRV, installed completely unsupported. Amazing how it passed local inspection.

[@reubengarcia9554]

BrianCNC shark bite fittings?!? Hope you got insurance bud

[@rogerwhiting9310]

Shark bite fittings are for emergency repairs only at my house. I would bodily throw out ANYONE that tries to use those in my house.

[@shandor2522]

Reuben Garcia: But the Shark Bite website says their o-rings are made of EPDM rubber, which I know to be invulnerable. It's used for tough roof membranes and I used a weatherstripping bead made of it on an old house; that weatherstripping never got dry or rigid through about eighteen years of winters & summers. It was always springy. I trust the Shark Bite fitting I installed behind my freezeproof hose bibb.

[@0Rthx]

Did it myself with pex a expansion tool on entire house. Hopefully lasts past my lifetime😀

[@WillN2Go1]

Nice install. I'd number or label those filter housings. I'm an old DIY plumber whose had Reverse Osmosis Filter Systems for almost 40 years. If you asked me which filter goes where.... I might get it right. But mostly what I've done is just replace the one that's in each housing with the one like it. So if I got them out of order once.... it'll probably be that way until I go look it up on the internet. Might be out of order for years. I like that 'spin' filter, great concept.

[@reneflorencio3014]

Suggestion on teflon tape. The teflon should be tightened on the thread as you unwind it from the tape housing.

[@jamescostello6529]

It's been shown in multiple tests that these filters remove sediment, tastes and odors, and minerals. The minerals removed do not soften water which is one of their big claims. The cost north of $1000 and you have a constant filter replacement built in for the life of the unit. A simple whole house two filter, sediment and taste and odor will do the same for about $150.

[@lisab3396]

James, The little Silfos (Phosphate) pre-filter is supposed to tie up the minerals and thus in theory to soften the water. In fact it only adds the phosphate to bind up the minerals which stay in the water and "doesn't" soften the water. The Calcium and Magnesium bonding/binding with phosphate "may" be filtered out through the 3 stage filtration. However, I doubt it. It "may" just end up shortening the life of the filter cartridges due to early plugging. In which case the house owner "may" be replacing cartridges more often than expected.

[@chrishudson4945]

You can get 1" fittings for 3/4" pex. Less fittings that way.

Great install, the only thing that I see that could be a problem is touching the UV bulb with your bare hands. The oils from your hands could cause the bulb to prematurely fail.

Gonna get absolutely soaked changing those filters. It's better to install 20" big blues at waist level or lower. Also, you always want to wear rubber gloves when handling UV bulbs.

[@faimreps]

[@discusdog]

The oil from your skin will shorten the bulbs life that's why you should also clean it before install.

Using red pex on a cold water line would confuse some people. If it works it works though.

[@BrandonMitchell84]

i was confused too ...im like hot water is no bueno...

[@lisab3396]

Maybe it's just my failing eyesight, but it looks like little to none of the feed water lines, prior and post filter lines had any support/securing installed. I trust you corrected that after the video. Failing to do so is sloppy workmanship >> In my opinion!

[@Bulfrgblus]

Should also install a 3 valve bypass on the UV along with a test port bleed valve for when you are changing the lamp to drain the water, also always support the piping to the wall and use gloves when touching the lamp and the filters.

[@methosmomomax7470]

No support for the hoses? Also, touching the UV light with bare fingers can degrade the lamp fast imprinting oils on to the lamp surface.

[@CapApollo]

i look a those filter that are huge compare to 3m cuno that i use where i live...what cames to my attention is the pipe fittings.. they are small.. where i live ppr is mostly the standard .. but the mains for a small house is 3/4 and up. 1 kitchen and one toilet. those fittings looks like 1/2 or less.

Great vid, as usual. Just felt lazy to read on sites like Home Depot or Healthy Kitchen 101, so I came here. Just one question: how long can the whole system perform well enough before requiring service and maintenance?

Is it really cast iron? Stainless steel would be a better choice of metal for this kind of application.

[@TeamTnA44]

Thanks for the demo I recently replaced my well pressure tank. I installed a spin down filter before the well tank . Then I installed a single canister filter after the well tank on the main supply lines . I'm still getting iron staining my toilets. Ugh. So I guess now I'm looking at the 3 stage filter . my question is should I install the spin down filter, the 3 stage filter then the pressure tank? or can I install the 3 stage filter after the well tank . Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm a plumber but not a water filtration specialist. I was thinking to install the spindown filter , then the 3 stage filter , before the well tank the still use the single stage after everything just because it's already there. anyhow again all help is greatly appreciated. Just ignore all the nitpicky comments . I totally understand this is just a basic installation video. Armchair plumbers lol

[@iSpringWaterSystems]

Hi there. the filters, including spin down filters, should be installed after or downstream of the pressure tank. This is done so that if a filter clogs then it will not damage the pump.

[@dfrazao8627]

Great job, but you don't need to use 2 pex crimp rings I've used 1 for over 20 years and never had a leak.

[@llpo9627]

Where did you learn all this?

[@stevegraves7040]

How do I solve the immense pressure drop after the system? is there a booster pump i can install after the fact?

[@iSpringWaterSystems]

Hi dear customer! If water pressure drops immediately after installation of a WGB series system, please take into account that bathtubs, utility sinks, hose bibs, multi-headed showers, body sprayers, or anything that is considered high-flow should be avoided for the first 72 hours. Any high-flow situation within the first 72 hours may cause a temporary carbon blockage. -To clear the blockage, turn off any running water for at least 10 minutes and resume using water at low or normal flow rates. -Allow the water to run until the air and carbon has been purged. Water may be cloudy initially as the filters and the system clear of trapped air. New activated carbon filter cartridges may contain loose carbon and air bubbles after the installation/replacement. If this is not the case, please kindly contact us at [e-mail], at [phone] M-F 8:30-5:30 EST, or at [phone] M-F 8:30-5:30 EST (Messaging only) to properly guide you. We are happy to help!

[@davidmcg6940]

I assume he did this with water flowing basically from right to left because both of his connections for the water supply/house were on the left side in that corner, but if I have my water supply on the left and I want the where it goes into the house on the right I can reverse which order I do this in? Spin down filter on the left followed by the large blue filters in the middle and then the UV filter on the right.

Hi dear customer! Please, follow this configuration/order: Water Flow -> Spin Down Sediment Filter -> Big Blue System -> UV Filter -> Water Flow -> If you have any concerns or questions, please kindly contact us at [e-mail], at [phone] M-F 8:30-5:30 EST or at [phone] M-F 8:30-5:30 EST (Messaging only) to properly guide you.

[@matthewanderindeal2957]

Great video. Thank you.

[@brucecwmcgee]

Great job ~ I learned a lot? Would you recommend pressure gauges.

[@CS-rn7mn]

Hi Bruce McGee, Adding the pressure gauges is a preference when the system is installed. The pressure gauges are a useful tool to see the incoming and outgoing psi (water pressure) in and out of the system. This can be used as a tool to see when the filters may be due to be changed. Thank you, iSpring Water Systems LLC

[@supertokinwhiteguy]

Bruce McGee A pressure gauge is necessary for pump switch operation and setting. For filtration, the only time pressure gauges would be useful is during operation of the system to note the pressure drop across the filters. When you notice a significant operating pressure drop it’s a notification to change your filters. There will always be pressure drop across any water system from beginning to end, but it gets more significant as the flow is restricted.

[@garyheaton4791]

With the plastic Plex pipe coming off the main, you would lose your house ground wouldn't you sir? I mean it's easy enough to run a jumper wire from the main to the next spot of metal past your UV filter...but I think it would need it to be sure your house doesn't lose its ground..correct??

[@iSpringWaterSystems]

Hi Bob. We recommend purchasing fittings from a plumbing supply store as they seem to fit better than the ones from Home Depot and Lowe's. You also need to use teflon tape specifically for 1" fittings and plenty of it, sometimes 12 - 15 wraps. Some customers do use the putty. If that doesn't stop the leak, please call us at 678-261-7611 (M-F, 8:30 - 5:30 EST). We will help you to solve the issue.

Why would I want to filter water for the toilets?

[@iSpringWaterSystems]

Hi there! It is necessary to filter the water for the entire house to avoid getting stains on fixtures, and it provides a longer life for pipes and appliances. For example, iron in water leaves orange stains in the shower, bathtub, in the toilet and in the toilet tank. If you have iron in your water, you might take a look at our WGB32BM system: www.123filter.com/ac/index.php?rt=product/product&product_id=455&acid=2 For further concerns or questions, please contact us at [e-mail] or at [phone] M-F 8:30-5:30 EST// [phone] M-F 8:30-5:30 EST.

[@vincentgarcia6231]

do you drink out of the faucet with this filtration system? and if not would you or would you not recommend it. Also how much water does it filter a day? where would it be stored?

[@iSpringWaterSystems]

Hi Vincent. Thanks for reaching out! Here are the answers to your questions. 1) The products in the video are whole house water systems. Although you can drink out of your faucet after this filtration, we recommend installing a reverse osmosis system (like this one: www.amazon.com/iSpring-RCC7AK-Capacity-Drinking-Remineralization/dp/B005LJ8EXU) for safer drinking water. 2) You can filter as much water as you want per day. However, the filters' lifespan is up to 100k gallons of water (depending on your water quality). That means the more water you filter per day, or the worse your water quality is, the more frequently you need to change your filters. 3) The filters should be stored indoors or under shelter to avoid direct sunlight and freezing temperatures. If you have more questions, please feel free to contact us at 678-261-7611 (M-F, 8:30 - 5:30 EST) or email us at [e-mail]. We are happy to help.

Hi dear customer! If you are interested in mineral water, please check the following systems which include an Alkaline Remineralization filter.

Do you place the filtration before the water softner?

[@stickwallfarm]

A Font yes. You want to filter out sediment that could clog up the softener.

[@bosatsu76]

Could all that filtration and UV happen BEFORE the water goes into the tank? I'm on city water (steady pressure--no pump cycle), and am think of adding the water filter... And would use the tank as an emergency storage supply...

[@CS-rn7mn]

Hi Ralph Marshall, Yes you could install the system and UV sterilizer before a pressure tank or holding tank. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Thank you, iSpring Water Systems LLC

[@bosatsu76]

I DO have a question... Seattle's water is actually very good... 29 ppm... My house is 70 years old and the pipes are original... Lately the hot water side has slowed down so I'm going to take care of that and add one of these set ups I see above... Here's the question... Two products promise to revitalize your water... Something about clusters of molecules, blah blah... One is the Home edge... Basically, sets of propellers just to churn up the water... And the other is an electronic system that uses EM frequencies to alter some ionic blah blah... Are either actually worth anything?

[@cdmichaelb]

After installing a system like this, is the water safe during a boil water notice without boiling?

[@iSpringWaterSystems]

Hi Michael! Thank you for reaching out! We still suggest to boil the water when there's a boil water notice. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us at 678 261 7611 (Mon - Fri, 8:30 - 5:30 EST) or email us at [e-mail]. Our customer service team will be happy to assist you!

NICE UNITS!

[@johnstancliff7328]

you were suppose to use the BLUE pex pipe... RED is for HOT!

[@janetyeoman1544]

Maybe they were just using up some extra stock. But the blue/ red is a nice guide.

[@scar559]

Can i use those blue containers to greatly increase the water 💦 pressure if I remove the filters inside?

[@lisab3396]

Pressure doesn't change. Only flow changes! Plugged filters will only restrict flow. Trust that helps U.

[@TheMeshal33]

What type of person would I hire to install one? Plumber?

[@iSpringWaterSystems]

Hi there. Yes, your local plumber or handyman should be able to install our systems.

[@JudasBytes]

don't you have water pressure loss with so many filters?

[@iSpringWaterSystems]

Hi Judas. There shouldn't be a significant water pressure drop if the system is installed and maintained properly. If you have other questions or concerns, please give us a call at 678-261-7611 (M-F, 8:30 - 5:30 EST). We are happy to help!

[@Fr4nkSanchez]

If I already have a wholehouse filter system and water softener do I need a 3-stage filter for my RO system?

[@iSpringWaterSystems]

Hi there. It depends on the type of contaminants that your water has, and on what your current systems filter. Do you have a water test report that you can share with us? A water test is very important to know the contaminants that your water has to choose the system or systems that meet your needs. You might want to check our blogs about how to choose the right whole house system and how to test your water quality : www.123filter.com/ac/a-comprehensive-guide-to-whole-house-water-filtration-how-to-select-the-right-whole-house-filtration-system www.123filter.com/ac/how-to-test-my-water-quality If you have a water test report or if you have any questions or concerns, please kindly contact us at [e-mail], at [phone] M-F 8:30-5:30 EST or at [phone] M-F 8:30-5:30 EST (Messaging only) to properly guide you.

I have a well, hard water high iron, stains everything. would this system work for me or do I need other filters or more??

[@CS-rn7mn]

Hi MNicehole, For well water we would recommend the WGB32BM or the WGB32B-PB systems. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Thank you, iSpring Water Systems LLC 678-261-7611

your filters r only good up to 60psi. I have a 60psi system.

[@williamsrcadventures6862]

I thought you had to have a shut off valve after the spin down pre filter before the three stage filter in order to actually get the tornado effect to clean the spin down filter?

[@iSpringWaterSystems]

Hi William. It is not necessary. If the water downstream of the spin down filter cannot advance then it's the same as having a shut off valve. If you need more tech support, please give us a call at 678-261-7611 (M-F, 8:30 - 5:30 EST) or email us at [e-mail]. We are happy to help!

[@clemkonan]

I would want to see validation data on the UV tube because flow rate or residence time will influence microbiological kill or in plain English the effectiveness of sterilization. I would prefer a post filtration buffer tank with a UV light that ensures the water is exposed to UV for a critical minimum time prior to use. Validation data = total bacterial count in vs total bacterial count out with flow rate =K1 and tube length = K2

[@bill48m]

Great video

[@tommyparisi8932]

Question, I installed the WSP50P SPIN DOWN filter in the same position as you did, I noticed it has siliphos for treating lime scale. having the next filters in the line effect the siliphos treatment if any?

[@CS-rn7mn]

Hi Tommy Parisi, Thank you for your question! The siliphos will not be removed by the whole house system due to the micron size of the filters. The siliphos will pass through and continue to treat for scale buildup. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Best Regards, iSpring Water Systems LLC

Can I have information about PPM after and Before filtering ? thanks.

[@iSpringWaterSystems]

Hi Ari. Our whole house water filters do not reduce PPM or TDS, thus keeping healthy minerals in the water. Please note that PPM or TDS is not the only way to tell your water quality. If you need a system that removes TDS or PPM, please consider iSpring reverse osmosis systems. If you have more questions, feel free to give us a call at 678-261-7611 (M-F, 8:30 - 5:30 EST).

I have hard well water, will this system help?

[@iSpringWaterSystems]

Hi, bdyt. In order to reduce the hardness of your well water, we still recommend you to install a water softener. However, you can install our WSP50ARB spin-down sediment filter (www.amazon.com/iSpring-WSP50ARB-Reusable-Spin-down-Touch-Screen/dp/B07XLP2T2Y), WDS150K anti-scale filter (www.amazon.com/iSpring-WDS150K-Filter-Patented-Inhibitor/dp/B0849P1CYX), and/or WGB32BM iron&manganese reducing filter (www.amazon.com/iSpring-WGB32BM-Filtration-Sediment-Manganese/dp/B01FI3BLYM) before your water softener to extend its lifespan.

hi I want to put a fluoride reduction filter in line with 2 cintropur filters (activated carbon) nw 25 & sl240 + vortex (a bigger version of your prefilter you clean everymonth), what cartridge filter could I use? Wich shell should I use?

[@iSpringWaterSystems]

Hi Emmanuel. Thank you for reaching out! You can use our WGB32B whole house system as a shell. As long as your cartridges are 4.5” x 20”, they will fit in our system. However, since you are purchasing filters from other brands, we can’t guarantee that the whole system would work as you expected.

[@abel1955]

iSpring Water Systems since the uv light is unavailable right now on amazon, does it make a big difference with just the filter? and can it be added later on?

[@iSpringWaterSystems]

Hi @@abel1955, it depends on what contaminant(s) you need to remove from the water. Our WSP pre-filters are used to remove larger particles from the water and the WGB whole house filters are built to remove finer sediment like rust, dust, sand, etc., chlorine (bad taste and smell), and/or iron & manganese / lead, depending on which system you choose. You can always add a UV light later on.

[@Reddylion]

nice !

[@Chady]

Thank you for your video. I am having a problem at my house where I live. The water has a lot of coarse (yellow coarse) with particles that ranges from powder size to a 1mm size stones. We have two filters already installed (the ones that come long in blue color plastic compartment), in one we use the sediment white replaceable filter and in the second we use the chlorine filter that has a net around it similar to the ones you just showed and none of those is helping at all. Every day we keep cleaning our water valves or mixers lid filters in the toilets and kitchen. Which WSP would you recommend to solve this problem? would i need one or more? thx

[@iSpringWaterSystems]

Hi Chady. Our WSP50ARB spin down sediment filter should be your best solution. You can get it here: www.amazon.com/iSpring-WSP50ARB-Reusable-Spin-down-Touch-Screen/dp/B07XLP2T2Y.

@@iSpringWaterSystems Hi. Could you briefly explain to us how the UV filter uses electricity without having the need to plug into a socket? And how the lamp inside is changed? Also does it matter if it's oriented vertically as opposed to horizontally like I see other applications? Thank you!

Are there filters for this system that will eliminate calcium?

[@iSpringWaterSystems]

Hi Don. The WGB32B series won't help with calcium problems. If you need a filter that prevents scale and protects your pipes and appliances, we recommend installing our WDS150K anti-scale whole house water filter.

I install two water filters system. my water 40 psi dropped to 20 psi. my incoming water pressure from the water main is 80 psi. I also tried to increase my water psi by adjusting my water pressure regulator and did not work either. my system two water filters did not have release pressure valve so it was difficult to change filters because the water pressure was still inside . I had to cut my pex .connector to release water psi in other to change the filter. water leak from incoming 1inch water . I tried several time and still have s small leak. i aslo had leak from two canister even though I screwed two canister all the way up until I could not turned it. for now I uninstall the whole house water filter and returned it. I hoped I can get some money back.
