First installed for drinking water filtering. Installation and handling, even changing the filter insert seems to be easy. No further experience on the effectiveness so far. The instructions for use state that certain bacteria can attack the cellulose filter and then develop a bad smell. Let's see if the assignment survives the season ..
The screw-in fittings for the hoses are made of plastic. In the instructions for use: Please do not over tighten, because they could break. And what happens? To get it tight, you have to put on something and not just crack high-quality material. Metal execution would be better.
Does not affect SVB but Yachticon and their support, but a buyer should know. The supplied screws do not fit, the information on the thread is wrong. It is not a 5/8 thread and not the one mentioned in a call to Yachticon 1/2 "It is a 3/8 IG, the 5/8 \" refer to the usual hose size!?! The case otherwise makes an appealing impression.
I do not understand that a filter intended to produce drinking water can bear the label "can cause cancer...." (see attached photo). A refund will be welcome.
Great delivery as always! The filter itself also makes a solid impression, but the supplied plastic hose connections break at the slightest tightening.
I'll know how the filter works in three months. But the installation is a disaster, plastic flanges are supplied on both sides.. which break off under slight pressure or tension. Had to buy in hardware store and metal flanges including converter, since no standard thread dimensions are used... thus 20 € more expensive plus taxi costs of 60 € and 4 h time...
