mickanles Posted December 8 Report Share Posted December 8 Hi We have a leak from a water softener filter which is on the central heating header tank feed, Said filter is probably 30 years old & I am struggling to find a replacement, it just screws up onto a housing but is leaking from the base of the filter Is filter necessary or would it be ok to bypass it, failing that I may have to look & plumb in another type of filter Thanks for your time Just now, mickanles said: Hi We have a leak from a water softener filter which is on the central heating header tank feed, Said filter is probably 30 years old & I am struggling to find a replacement, it just screws up onto a housing but is leaking from the base of the filter Is filter necessary or would it be ok to bypass it, failing that I may have to look & plumb in another type of filter Thanks for your time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted December 8 Report Share Posted December 8 If you are going to do the job yourself or get a professional in then consider putting a service valve in the line, to make changing any cartridge easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
