Question 1

Will these filters fit the ao smith whole house water filtration system that lowe's carry?

Accepted Answer

Thanks for your question. We searched for the model but didn't get any help info. Our big blue filter actual size is 9 7/8 inch in length and 4.5 inch in diameter, 5 micron. Please check the size of your old filter in your system. If you are using the filter with same size (small variations acceptable), then this filter probably can fit your filter housing. One more thing need to check that though some filters have the same sizes and can be replaced each other, but they may have different functions. If you can take a picture for the filter you are using, we will know if this filter can meet your need.

The filter can be used in any standard 10” x 4.5” heavy duty Big Blue filter housings and compatible for standard 10 inch X 4.5 inch sediment pleated whole house water filters of GE FXHSC, DuPont WFHDC3001, Culligan R50-BBSA, HD-950, Pentek R50-BB, American Plumber W50PEHD, GXWH40L, GXWH35F, GXWH38F, GXWH30C,GNQH38S, WHKF-WHPLBB, Pentair Pentek S1 series, EP series, EPM series.

Question 2

How do you wash these in order to reuse them?

Accepted Answer

Replacing the filter every 3 to 6 months (depending on how much sediment is in your water) is a better option than re-using them, but I have reused them occasionally to save a few bucks.  Here's how we do it:

First, make sure the filters are not made with paper - they must be made of polypropylene in order to reuse them.  Wash the filter thoroughly with an outdoor hose or in a utility tub, then set them outside in the sun for a few days to completely dry.  Any clay or dirt left in the filter will harden during that time and it will come out with a few smacks (or with an air gun).  I then soak the filter in a bleach and water mixture for about 24 hours and rinse them again very well.  Done.

I've used the same filter 3 or 4 times this way before having to replace it, and it lasts almost as long as a new one.
