Just a quick thing. You can drill and tap some 1/4” sample valves in the bottom of the filter bowls to drain each filter so less water and no need to have the container under it. I do commercial ultra filtration and in labs or rooms that no water worry about the excess water on the floor on the floor we install them. In boiler rooms etc we don’t. And one thing, for people watching this, only hand tighten the filters, over tightening can cause the ring to stretch and not seal again. Do not use filter wrench to tighten it. If it leaks remove it and clean the oring and channel it sits in lubricate it and reinstall.
Be prepared for the weight of those 20 inch housings when filled with water and a soaked element. The first time I changed mine it slipped out of my hand and fell to the floor. The housings are also kind of slick when wet.

That filter system looks like it's doing an excellent job. Thanks for making and sharing the video.
What a great video - end to end I followed the instructions and it was a piece of cake - thank you for taking the time to show how this can be done.
Thanks! Glad it was helpful!

4:34 Add a dab of the silicone grease on the sump threads.
would you be able to help find out the number of the blue canisters .Mine and my neighbors are all cracked around the bottom
The part number for mine is Pentek 153070. But it might be cheaper to buy the whole unit. amzn.to/4geqU2x
Very helpful video! Thank you! If we just have 1 big blue 20 inch filter, which brand of replacement filter should we use? Thank you so much!
I have used Aquaboon in the past and had good results. amzn.to/3TWCI0m
