Hydronix HF2-10WHWH14 10" White Housing with White Flat Cap, 1/4" Ports

quality as good as original

It looked the same as my filters housing on my osmosis filter system, but they are a little smaller on the thread size. I wanted to replace only the broken housing, but it did not screw in.I ordered 2 more and replaced all the 3 heads, and they fit perfectly with the existing screws on the metal plate, the heads are the same size, only the thread are smaller. It is a little more job, but now they are all new for a fraction of the cost.

Looks and fits just like the original filter house and cap for the Apec Essence RO system. My old housing had a slight leak even with new o-rings. This one came with a lubed o-ring already and works perfect. Not sure if I torqued the one one too much and stressed the cap too much. You really don't need to screw them on too tight.The old fittings fit perfect in it as well.

My RO system sprung a leak in the filter housing. I got this to just replace the housing. AMAZON warned that this is a frequently returned item. YES, IT DOES NOT FIT!!!There is a visible difference in the appearance of these housings. One has female threads and a single O-ring. The other style has male threads and two O-rings! Visibly, the difference is the female threaded housing is the same diameter as the cap. The male threaded housing is SMALLER than the cap. Once you recognize the difference in housings it's easy to pick the right one.Pay attention, order the right housing. Amazon should require more detailed photos on their listings.

My cheap portable RO system worked just Ok and I was looking for a way to improve it. The 2 original filters: a sediment and a carbon filter, are both rated at 5 microns. So I planed to add a very fine 1 micron full size filter and this housing fits the bill. I was just not sure "what size" fittings to use for the inlet and outlet( wish they specified). 1/4" male threads? 3/8"?Note: the reason why I have to edit my review is that my pictures are not arranged in order( even the ones showing in the bottom of review and the ones in "customer pictures" are arranged differently).Let us go with the ones on the bottom of my review.As I was still looking for an answer, I saw there were replacement carbon filters available with "built-in" fittings( That's the filter on the very right. Picture 2 shows the built-in fitting)! A thought came to my mind: I could probably use the fittings that were on the original filter! And YES they went on the new housing perfectly( picture 4 shows the fittings I removed from the original carbon filter went on the new filter housing perfectly)! No leaks.So this ended up an easy and inexpensive project( 1 micron 10 inch filter about $2 each; carbon filter about $6 at ebay). When it's time to replace the original sediment filter I'll just use another carbon filter, since now I have a great sediment filter, and save the 2 fittings for future use.
