HUM WHOLE HOUSE 2 stage WATER FILTRATION System - Installs in 6 EASY Steps!

HUM WHOLE HOUSE 2 stage WATER FILTRATION System – Installs in 6 EASY Steps!



You need whole house water filter for your home or cottage because the water is full of dirt and chemicals but where do you start?
This HUM Water Care 20” Dual Big Blue Filter housing is definitely the way to go. It comes fully assembled as you see here, no need to plumb the two housings together, attach to the brackets, line them up! Also, their large 20” size gives your family lots of capacity so you likely won’t need to replace the filters for a whole year. Obviously how long they actually last is based on how much water you use and how many contaminants you need to remove.
Find the perfect location. You will need to install the filtration system before the plumbing splits into hot and cold and likely after your water softener and iron/sulphur equipment but if you’re looking to prefilter the water before your other equipment then it will need to be installed before.
The housing needs to be mounted where you have access to replace the filter in the future and where any water being spilled during filter replacement will not splash into or onto electrical components.
1. Shut off the main water supply valve.
2. Cut the pipe and mount the unit on the wall using the mounting bracket provided.
3. When installing the Filter Housing, make sure the water flows into the inlet. WARNING: if soldering, do not allow heat near plastic threads or fittings.
4. I always recommend installing ball valve shut offs before and after the filter housing to make future filter replacement easier.
5. Open the valves on either side of the Filter Housing. Check for leaks. Open supply valve slowly and bleed air from system.
6. Be sure to flush all new filters thoroughly before using water.

DIY Water Filtration System For Cabin Or Camp

DIY Water Filtration System For Cabin Or Camp



Lonnie shows here how he built (and how you can too) a water filtration system that is great for a small cabin or camp or even to have for emergencies in town. The total cost to build was MUCH cheaper that the professionally manufactured filtration systems but yet it is every bit as effective since it uses the same ceramic filters as they use. It is a very simple project and uses the tools that you may already have.

Shopping List for How to Choose a Water Filter:
Pitcher-style water filter [https://amzn.to/2Ls4Kxc]
Faucet-mounted water filter [https://amzn.to/2NXQxtH]
Under-sink water filter [https://amzn.to/2ZUdDJ5]
Under-sink reverse-osmosis water filter [https://amzn.to/2O1PRDB]
Whole-house water filter [https://amzn.to/2NV4jxf]
Sediment filter [https://amzn.to/34FDkvB]

Steps for How to Choose a Water Filter:
1. The simplest way to filter tap water is with a pitcher-style water filter, which has a granulated carbon filter that improves taste and odor, and removes some chlorine and sediment.
2. Faucet-mounted filters have a switch that diverts tap water through a granulated carbon filter. Turn on the switch for filtered drinking water; flip it off when washing dishes.
3. For greater water filtration convenience and capacity, install an under-sink, dual-filter system that has its own gooseneck faucet.
4. For optimum point-of-use filtration, consider a reverse-osmosis system. Water passes through a series of three filters, resulting in extremely clean, pure drinking water.
5. Whole-house water filters are installed near the water main and are ideal for delivering clean, filtered water to every faucet throughout the entire house.
6. There are a variety of filters available to remove a wide range of impurities.
7. Sediment filters contain a stainless-steel pre-screen filter and back-flush system that automatically cleans the filter.
8. For the highest level of water filtration, first have your tap water tested, then call in a water-treatment specialist to install a whole-house filtration system designed specifically to treat your water.
