85470 Washing Machine Inline Water filter/USA MADE/Tested and approved by Handy Man Magazine.

We have grey slate shale from our well. This is easier to change than the screen on the clothes washer. The washing machine mfg. can void the warranty without it, I was told by a service man, I do have a whole house filter also which I'm changing monthly. The builder lost the filter I had with the filter reservoir, and turned on supplt to my new house without it, I've had to clean all faucet screens after I put in the filter. I haven't had to replace the filter in this small filter for over a year.

works good

Ive purchased this twice. The first time the filter leaked at the seam but I got into contact and inline responded immediately. Its been connected, easy to install. Works great at keeping the sediment from going through and damaging.

We have very hard water, and upon purchasing a new steam washer and dryer, I wanted to install an inline filter to protect them from the sediment. I looked at larger more elaborate and expensive alternatives, then chose to go this route. They worked fine for a month, then one of them blew apart, flooding the garage. After looking at the unit, there was no evidence why it blew apart. Since the one that blew apart was the one on the hot water, maybe the plastic can't take the heat, and caused to to fatigue. I don't know, but I can't chance that again, so I removed them and tossed them. I like the design and the simplicity, but to prevent that again, they really need to be metal. Thank goodness my washer and dryer are in the garage, and not indoors. I would have had lots of damage.

Our water is so hard it kills our washers or we have to clean washer screen often, which is not in a convenient location on the washer. This was a game changer for us. This is our second one first we had about a year then we cleaned it and got another year. Now on our second one.

I purchased the filter and replacement elements. The original filter leaked at the seam. Contacted Inline through the website and received an immediate response. They sent a new filter and that one worked fine. The first one was missing an o-ring. I have this connected to a washing machine and it works well and should keep sediment from going through the cold water valve and damaging it.

Our clothes were being ruined by the sludge in our old water pipes going straight to the washer. With these filters the clothing is nearly back to normal. These are easy to install and just as easy to remove for cleaning. I'm well pleased with this purchase.

I have purchased four of these filters in the last ten years because I can't find a more convenient and easy-to-install replacement. However, the housings leak sooner or later, some right away, some after a couple of years of use.
