At what minimal height do we actually need to install this filter, to allow for clearance to change the cartridge?? We'd like it under the sink.

Fully assembled it is about 15 inches, you'll need another 10 inches to install the filter. I have mine installed as an external filter for the refrigerator water & ice, so I don't have a space issue. I measured under my sink and I have a good 25 inches in height on the inside. I'm sure if I had a drinking spout faucet I could install it under there without issue. Make sure you have a good 10 inches from the mounting surface to allow room for the special wrench to fit over the casing too. G'Luck!

Hello Jo. Thanks for asking. You can place it at a height equivalent to the length of the tank draining tube. That's why they've given you the draining tube at a certain length, I suppose!But saying all that, my advice to you is to return it if you're in US, as you'll get your money back. It's a piece of junk!!!!

It's about an inch, but it comes with a complete setup, so you won't be placing the sponge directly over the intake. You will attach the pre filter sponge setup to the upper portion of the intake tube. The intake tube will need to be circular as well.

The thickness of your tank edge also needs to be taken into consideration. Thicker edges will make the filter sit higher. But if you have low clearance, you may also have a problem having access to changing the filter cartridge since it needs to slide upward and towards the front. Buy one at a local Petsmart and try it out. If it does not fit, return it for a refund. If it does work, still return it for a refund and buy on line to save some money.

The filter is 2-1/8 inches from the rim of the tank to the top of the lid. However, you will need a good six or seven inches above the tank to remove it for cleaning if the filter is left whole when you remove it. You could disassemble the pump from the filter while it is still in the tank and get away with just over four inches of clearance and remove just the tank portion of the filter for cleaning. For this kind of clearance problem a small remote canister filter might be a better choice.

No drain required. When changing the cartridge, you will have to tip out the water from the unit.

2 7/8'' I measured the lower portion of the filter @ 2 7/8" -- that's the part that sits inside my mug below the "saucer" portion. The OD of the entire assembly is barely under 4''.

I had to look it up on YouTube. Go to youtube and lookup "Installing an Under Sink Water Filter System" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwCvH7TilsM

This is a pleated filter so the height can vary. I don't know what the maximum height it will fit. My owners manual for my filtration system stated that this is the replacement part for my unit, I bought it and it fit fine.

Not made for under a counter. Needs air space in rear where there is a filter.

I dunno. The filter basket is 3.5 inches deep, 5 inches across the top, and 3 inches across the bottom. Hope this helps. (:>)))

I cannot measure that because sink is already installed. Too much plumbing and water filter stuff in the way. Sorry, Bob

Kind ofyou need to cut it down on the long edge about half an inch to get it to fit. Cut 1/2in off long edge and place both filter in cartridge at same time or oder the ones K. Ashurex suggested :-)

I need to know the answer to that myself. I have the under counter version of the Filter.....

It would be a tight fit at 19 1/2". My husband had to cut and modify the depth of the hardware on the bottom to fit under our sink due to plumbing to the dishwasher. He added a nice shelf at the back to hold the box of garbage bags. I really love the product.

Because the filter is just loose powder inside, it needs to have gravity on its side. If your filter housing has the removable bell housing part pointing down, try flipping the whole housing so it points up. That way, the cartridge has it's intake part pointing up and turning water on and off won't fluff the media but rather will pack it tight. Note that I'm NOT saying to simply flip the filter itself, that won't work... hope that helps.

it should be hung vertically otherwise you will spill lots of water when you change the filter. :-)
