Why Home Water Filtration Matters
While many of us take the quality of our home’s water for granted, the unfortunate truth is that municipal and well water often contains concerning levels of contaminants like:
- Heavy metals such as lead and mercury
- Chlorine and chloramines
- Pesticides and VOCs
- Microplastics
- Pathogens like giardia
- Scale-causing hardness minerals
The impact of ingesting these contaminants over months and years can be significant, ranging from skin irritation to increased cancer risks. Children and those with weakened immune systems are especially vulnerable.
This is why investing in a high quality filtration system can pay off greatly in the long run. The HB18B housing paired with one of our filter cartridges creates a powerful barrier between your household and many unhealthy contaminants lurking in untested water.
Versatile, Easy Installation In Under 30 Minutes
The iSpring HB18B is designed for quick, simple installation in under 30 minutes, with no plumbing experience required.
It is intended for inline installation along the main water supply line, where it will filter water for the entire home. Ideal installation locations include:
- Under a sink along the cold water line
- In the basement or crawl space along the main line
- In the garage or an outbuilding if on well water
The housing utilizes standard 1-inch NPT ports for secure, leak-free connections.
The package includes a filter housing wrench for opening the unit during cartridge changes. The housing casing is transparent so you can easily see when a new filter is needed.
For convenient installation, the HB18B also includes an integrated mounting bracket. Stainless steel screws firmly attach it to a wall or other flat surface.
With just a little planning and elbow grease, you can be enjoying filtered water in no time. We even offer professional installation services if you would prefer to leave it to the experts.
Sturdy Construction Built To Last
At iSpring, we don’t cut corners. The HB18B housing is constructed from top quality ABS thermoplastic and lead-free brass for maximum durability.
The internal design is engineered for optimal water flow and filtration performance. Special flow blades inside evenly distribute water to utilize the entire surface area of the filter.
This robust construction allows it to withstand pressures up to 90 psi and temperatures up to 100°F – perfect for the demands of whole house filtration.
The housing casing also meets NSF standards for plastic safety and integrity. You can have confidence it will hold up to years of reliable use.
For added security, the HB18B includes a pressure relief button that safely vents excess pressure if needed. This protects the housing from damage, for enhanced safety.
With proper maintenance, your HB18B filter housing should continue performing flawlessly for at least a decade. We stand behind the quality with a satisfaction guarantee.
