Review: Beefy housings and no pressure relief valve to leak! - There aren't as many options for filter housings without pressure relief valves, but this one is definitely worth it. The pressure relief valves on just about any of these will eventually leak if you keep using them because they're not made well. I had to remove and plug the last one up because it wouldn't stop leaking. Then the old housing started leaking because of a hairline crack. The Pentek 150072 is much beefier than what it replaced - both the blue upper and clear lower housing are thicker and very solid. My only gripes are that you have to get the bracket separately (Pentek 150578 MC-1A Bracket for 3/4" 3G Filter Housings) and the female threads could be tighter. The first shot at installing this with CPVC fittings resulted in a very slow leak from the fitting on the outlet side even though I used plenty of PTFE thread tape with thread sealant and fully threaded the fitting into the housing. The second try was with brass fittings, PTFE thread tape with thread sealant, and fully threading the fitting into the housing resulted in no leaks. Even when the 3/4in NPT male fittings fully threaded there are still about 3/8in of the female threads exposed inside the housing. I'm not sure if they make 3/4in fittings with longer male threads (didn't seem to be any CPVC ones), but that would also help prevent leaks on the first shot. The filter housing screws smoothly onto the upper housing and compresses the o-ring nicely. It only needs to be hand tight to seal. There are nice protruding ribs on the housing that make it easy to grab and loosen by hand. A plastic wrench would have been nice but isn't really needed. All in all this is a solid housing that's a bit more expensive than other options, appears to be well made, and will hopefully last longer without leaking.
Review: It's a great product - It gets the job done well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Replacement for Original Housing
*by G***8 on March 8, 2023*

Housing is heavy duty. I am going using two Pentek housings to replace the two I have in parallel with valves on each side to isolate each individually, if there is a leak in one or when replacing filters. This enables me to continue having water supply for repair and avoid water shutdown. That is exactly what happened. There was a hairline crack/leak in the valve in head of the old housing of my 13 year old filter housing. I tried to order a similar item (Culligan) but upon arrival I found the spacing between inlet and outlet was much shorter so piping adjustments or adapters would have to be used (piping is rigid). I received the 2 Pentek housings - found them to be heavier duty construction and spacing between inlet and outlet connections is identical to the old ones, so no piping changes were required, making replacement easier. I see Pentek is recommending replacement of clear housings after 5 years, and opaque housings after 10 years. The only negative with the order is the two housings were were shipped in one box without any padding around them or air pillows between them, which allowed them to bang together in transit. The housings look OK but have some light scuff marks on the clear plastic part which may or may not be due to the poor packing. Amazon Prime delivery did place the box gently on the front step.
