I have (or had) a large home water filter that I installed a few years ago and today my wife runs up to me in the living room and says, "there is a water leak in the laundry room" I saw that there is a small indicator on the top of the filter (all plastic filter by the way) the indicator was leaking and I shut off the water supply to the house. I figured the best way to stop the leak since I cannot fix the plastic indicator on the filter housing is to remove it and put in piece of hard pipe. I went to ACE hardware and bought a piece of 3/4" copper and 2 sweat couplers and did the job in an hour. ACE did not have 2 compression unions that I could have installed and made it possible to remove and install another filter at another time. So I had to sweat in a copper line. (I do not like doing house hold plumbing) And I sure do not like water leaks.
All fixed for now.
If you have a plastic water filter named Keystone you will want to replace it. The small indicator on this filter has a small thread that ended up leaking on me, I am glad that I was home at the time. I will not try to repair this thing cause plastic does not hold a thread very well. I could super glue in a stainless screw.....It may not hold either.
Any plumbers here?
