Why we swapped to a clear canister

A homeowner in Harvard had a whole-house filter that had aged out, and when it came time to replace it, he made a smart call: a new filter with a clear canister instead of the old solid one. The reason is simple — with a clear canister you can actually see the filter cartridge. When it starts to darken and load up with sediment, you change it because you saw it, not because your water pressure dropped or the water started tasting off.

Installing the new filter

We pulled the old filter and put in the new one with the clear housing, so he can glance at it and know exactly when it’s due. It’s a small change that makes a real difference — you stop guessing when to swap the cartridge and it keeps the whole system running cleaner. In, done, no leaks, same visit.
