Different Tube Sizes?

Please note all sizes are OD / Outside Diameter of the tube ie you simply measure edge to edge).
8mm - 5/16s Tubing. This is a "straight connector" that converts the 1/4 inch tube to your 8mm tubing More info
9.6mm - 3/8ths Tubing The housing ports can also accept 9.6mm tubing so you simply remove the 1/4 inch adapters
10mm Tubing This is a "straight connector" combination that converts the 1/4 inch tube up to your 10mm tubing More info
12mm Tubing This is a "straight connector" combination that converts the 1/4 inch tube up to your 12mm tubing More info
15mm Tubing For 15mm tubing you should get this 15mm housing instead
What's not included
Please note: This system does not come with a cartridge. And it assumes you already have a tap and connection to the water supply. And that you have tubing (we do supply about 12 inches of tube, as a courtesy, but not the full length). So if you don't have these please check this equivalent complete unit or you can find extra parts in our accessories .

All now fitted and working, pleased with purchase and a good price. Many thanks". Independent Review by Mart
What Type of Plastic is this Housing Made From?
These housing units are made of PolyPropylene (PP).
If you're concerned about plastics - we think you're right to be.
Plastics like BPA's (often found in food and water containers) and Phthalates (in PVC products etc) are linked to cancers, fertility problems, obesity, hormone / endocrine disruption and God knows what else.
The problem is they leach into the food or liquid they're holding.
However PolyPropolene (ie our housings) does not contain BPA's or Phthalates. and is thought to be much safer because it doesn't leach chemicals like some other plastics do.
PolyPropolene is one of the oldest and most commonly plastics with no known negative health effects after seventy years in widespread use (Sources: ESIS – European Chemical Substances Information - and the Hazardous Substance Data Bank (USA).
Super easy to fit and performs well". Independent Review by Kenneth Mackenzie

Such an improvement over unfiltered water. Losing microplastics, scale, chlorine and all the other nasties that can work their way in is just a bit of piece of mind for me in relation to my kids.
– Nick Love
I've had the filter installed for 1 month now and the water tastes loads better and no more smell of chemicals, just clean fresh filtered water I'd say it's the best water I've ever had.

“My filter fits easy and I am happy. We weigh the old filter when it is removed, filled with gunge which never got into our bodies with this filter. It’s quite frightening. My filter is worth every penny!
