STYDDIGarden Hose Inlet Filter for High Pressure Washer, Garden Hose Water Sediment Filter Attachment with 100 Mesh Screen for Power Washer, Transfer Pump, Rain Barrels, Outdoor Spigots

Works well. Plenty of replacement filters come with it.

I'm on well water and, if it's a dry season, sand and grit can sometimes travel through the garden hose and plug up the sprinkler. (Water inside is filtered.) The sediment filter traps the sand so I don't have to keep unhooking the sprinkler, cleaning the filter, reattaching the sprinkler only to have to do it again in 45 minutes. After watering is done, I clean out the sediment filter and learned that the rubber gasket in the cup needs to be fully seated into the depression it fits into - otherwise the filter leaks. I would buy this sediment filter again.

I tightened it on the faucet as tightly as my fingers would allow, I’m not strong. I tried it and water gushed out but I got a wrench and made it two more revolutions and it stopped leaking at the faucet. The plastic seems to be the brittle type. In Texas, we have constant wide temperature fluctuations so I will update if a crack forms. But for now, it seems to be working well!!!

This water filter is well-made, but did not come with any instructions. The body of the filter appears to be a polycarbonate, which is a tough, impact-resistant plastic, designed to last. The connecting-fittings are brass. The fact that the body & fittings are different materials means that the connecting-threads cannot be "tapered," as in standard iron-pipe fittings. The threads are "straight-threads." That means it is advisable to use the supplied "thread-tape" on all male-threads, 3-full wraps. Remove both fittings from the filter, apply the thread-tape, and re-insert the fittings into the body of the filter. There is a rubber-gasket at the base of each brass-fitting that must seat firmly with the plastic body, to ensure leak-free operation. The filter comes with a selection of regular washers, screened-washers, the thread-tape mentioned, plus two spare filter screens. There is no replacement gasket for the main filter body. I'm not sure where one would find that replacement gasket if it ever needed replacing. I installed two of these filters on our commercial washing-machine, to replace the "in-line" filters provided by the washing-machine manufacturer. However, these filters are fairly large, so they will NOT fit behind a regular washing-machine. They need to have space adjacent to the machine, not directly behind the machine. They seem to work as designed, and fit our needs. Since they involve plastic, I will keep an eye on their performance to ensure that the fittings are tight and not leaking.

It attached easily to my water spigot and worked well. The screen filter kept impediments out of my pool. I cut up a bigger water filter and inserted it into the water holder and it did an even better job of filtering out iron (red particulate) from my water that was going into my swimming pool. For $13 bucks there’s no better hose water filter housing - I just wish they made fiber filters for use in the housing rather than me having to cut up other fiber filters snd customizing them to fit into the housing. No big deal as 1 large fiber filter was cut up to 8 pieces and that will last me a few years. I definitely recommend this filter set up. Good performance at a great price.

I don't know if it was just mine that was defective or if they are all this way and nobody seems to be catching it, but the filter screen does not actually seat all the way down and as a result it does not actually filter anything. I was using it on my mister line to catch particles from my hardness filter and it was not working.Turns out the filter screen does not seat in the bottom of the acrylic cylinder and as a result water can pass around it with all particles intact. I laser-cut a leather gasket to seal up the gap and I think it will actually do its job now.My other objection is that the gasket for the acrylic housing does not do a good job sealing. It is too thin and does not compress enough to fully block water flow. That causes it to leak gently.Overall, it does do the job I needed for a cheap price, but I would not be at all happy if I did not have the resources to overcome this item's shortcomings.

Works good

Used this for about 10 hours before it sprung a leak in the plastic on top. Looks like an air bubble in the mold that gave way with just town water pressure.
