Replace Fresh water filter housing holder

zman

My filter holder cracked and now leaks like crazy.
How do I remove this as the whole unit is one molded piece?

Do I need to order this exact same design or do I have other options?

You only need to replace the same unit if you want to continue to use the 3M filters that go with it. If not any other filter holder will do or eliminate it altogether.

I have been thinking of replacing my unit with a GE whole house filter from Home Depot. While I like the quality of the water with the 3M, I feel that the pressure is really lacking. I am going to add a drinking water filter in the kitchen for drinking water. John222 has a similar setup and had a picture in a post a few months ago. You might want to do a search.

I used a hacksaw to cut the plastic fittings at the Pex brass elbows. I then used 2- 1/2 x 1/2 x 12 inch toilet supply line hoses and plumbed in a Whirpool whole house filter head.
