Replace a Whirlpool Model No. WHKF-DWH Under-Sink Mounted Water Filter



Share this video!

Replacing a filter in an under-sink mounted water filtration system is an easy fix and a task that needs to be performed regularly. In just a few minutes you can ensure you have cleaner, filtered water to drink from your tap.

This is a basic water filter. It’s a Whirlpool Model No. WHKF-DWH. The drop-in replacement filter is Model No. WHKF-GAC. Both the unit and the replacement filters are available at Lowe’s, for about $20 and $13, respectively.

The filter unit comes with a specially designed “wrench” that slips over the filter housing, aligning with the ridges manufactured into unit. A quick twist loosens the housing to remove the old filter and replace with a fresh one.

Again, this is a basic model. It filters out sediment and reduces or eliminates odors from water. It needs to be replaced every 6 months. I’ve gone longer than that and though I haven’t noticed any difference in the taste of the water I have seen a slight decrease in water pressure. A new filter resolves that issue.

It’s a quick fix for a simple unit. A more sophisticated (and expensive) unit is really a better bet, but as a first-line pre-filtration system, it’s a good value.

Time: 1 hour

Cost: $250

Skill Level: Beginner

Tools List for Installing a Water Filter:
Wrench [
Bucket [

Shopping List:
Water filtration system

Steps:
1. Start by shutting off the cold water line underneath the kitchen sink. The cold should always be to the right.
2. Open the faucet to release any cold water that’s in the line upstream of the shutoff valve.
3. Place a small bucket or tray underneath the cold water line underneath the sink to catch any extra water that might fall out. Then, break the water connection using a wrench.
4. Connect the adapter that comes with the kit to the hose.
5. Push the black tubing that also comes with the kit into the adapter on one end and the filter on the other. The back of the filter has images that indicate which pipe should receive which tube.
6. Connect the second adapter to the water shutoff valve. Push the black tubing that came from the filter to the shutoff.
7. Turn the water back on.
8. Run the sink for 5-10 minute increments according to the instructions that come with the kit to activate the carbon and fully filter the water.

Resources:
Richard installed the Advanced Water Filtration System, which is manufactured by Kube ( It comes with a kit of adapters and connectors so that it’s easy to connect it with whatever pipes you have underneath your sink. The only other tool required for installation is a wrench, which can be found at any home center.

The retro faucet the homeowner had in her kitchen is called the Dishmaster M76 Imperial Four ( which can still be found on the manufacturer’s website and on some third party sites.

How To Make Cyclone Shop-Vac With Secondary Water Filtration (Wet Scrubber) All out of Junk

How To Make Cyclone Shop-Vac With Secondary Water Filtration (Wet Scrubber) All out of Junk



This is a homemade cyclonic dust collector shop vac I built that has a second stage water filtration feature also known as a wet scrubber. The nice thing about this shop vac is it can extract large and fine particles down to several microns with very cheap methods without losing suction and all the while keeping a relatively small footprint so it is easy to roll around the shop.. A third stage could even be added such as a fabric HEPA filter to remove the ultra fine particulates but I did not include that in this build.

A majority of the dust will be collected in the 3 gallon bucket placed below the cyclonic separator, what makes it through the vacuum motor will be further filtered using the wet scrubber stage. This doesn’t remove all of the fine particles but does a decent job down to the 10 micron range. Should a fabric HEPA be placed as a third stage filtration, it would take a very long time to clog.

This shop vac has 3 main parts, the cyclonic separator, the vacuum housing, and the wet scrubber.

The Cyclonic Separator portion is made from a CD spindle case, a toy traffic cone, and some 1 1/4″ PVC Pipe.

I acquired the vacuum motor from another broken upright vacuum cleaner. I created a housing for the motor using scrap particle board. This housing is essentially a sealed box which contains the inlet/outlet ports, the power switch, and power cable.

All of the vacuum components are sealed with a generous amount of glue and attached to a wooden disk that is secured on top of a 3 gallon bucket lid. It is important to ensure everything is air tight.

The cyclonic separator is bolted onto the vacuum motor housing and then secured to the pipe on the bucket lid using silicone tape. The bracket holding the cyclonic separator doesn’t necessarily need to be a metal one as shown in the video but could simply be a piece of particle board with the same diameter hole cut out of it. I used this metal bracket simply because it was laying around my junk part box.

It is also a good idea to empty and sterilize the wet scrubber after each use to prevent germs from being aerosolized into the shop.
