Housing Bracket for Big blue 10" and 20" filter housings

They work perfect, it's the only way to install a filter housing and make it right

All the holes lined up perfectly to my Pentair big blue housing. I tapped the top of the Pentair housing with the 3/8-16 like someone else said for the mounting bolts. Worked like a charm. This mount holds a full filter without issue. If you bump it it will wiggle a little, but it's not bending under the weight of a full 20" filter and housing.

Does not come with the screws to attach the filter housing.

I bought this for a Big Blue 10" filter. It fit perfect.

Perfect fit and strong enough to hold the filters.

I used this bracket to install a 20" Pentek Big Blue filter housing. The mounting hole alignment was spot-on; however, as noted by another reviewer it is rather flexible for a bracket that is going to support a big housing with several gallons of water. I chose to weld a brace to the bracket to proactively address problems before using it rather than install it and wait to see if it was a problem which would then require removal/disassembly of the system to repair. See photo of modification before paint. This bracket looks exactly like the factory accessory to the Pentek housings so I wouldn't expect those to be any better unless you get one of the brackets meant to hang two or three housings together.No fasteners were included with the bracket, but I've read that in other reviews and was prepared going into installation with appropriate fasteners for my application. Also, the filter head needed to be drilled and tapped for fasteners. I used 3/8"-16 x 1" for the Big Blue filter head.Overall review is still 4 stars even though I had to modify the bracket for it to suit my needs because it was less than 1/3 the price of the Pentair brackets and saved quite a bit of time versus making my own bracket from scratch.

This bracket will not work with competitor's filter housings. The dimensions are shown in my pictures.For anyone's information, I think the part is made in metric units. The small holes appear to be 1cm diameter and the big holes seem to be 2 cm diameter. There is a longer side and a shorter side. The metal is about 0.110" thick with the white paint. That is (my best guess) of 12 gauge sheet metal. I measured the thickness with a digital micrometer from a popular import tool store. I like clean water.I plan to change the old solder joints that have lead to ones that have only 0.25% lead. Or even better, I may just change to PEX as that seems to be proven to work if I keep it from getting sunlight in my basement.The NSF (National Sanitary Foundation) is the foremost authority in declaring plumbing parts lead-free. Lead-free means 0.25% lead of less. Solder before 1991 or something like that is 50% lead that is getting into the pipes. New solder and parts are the have a 0.25% Lead limit.Plan to cut out all the sweat joints and replace with the lower Lead solder joints and some new copper or just redo the plumbing with PEX so my filter isn't cleaning water to make it dirty again. Looks like 0.5 micron filters are the ones that get the Lead out.

“I dislike” because it dies not come with screws for filter housing. So it makes the item incomplete and overpriced.
