Would the extra piping reduce the filter's effectivness? Are there any long term tests/feedbacks by anyone?

So those in the racing biz don't know what they are doing when they use oil coolers with the same diameter tubing as the filter tube threaded into the block? Remote filter mount and oil coolers both require tubing that extends the path your oil takes. This will increase the overall volume of oil but the flow restriction is negligible. You might see a slight change in pressure differential. If you were increasing the circuit length by hundreds of feet then you might have something, but for a few feet this isn't a problem. Here's some good info: http://www.xse.com/leres/ss/oilcooler.html

Since mine is inside I have not had to face that issue, but we have elevated the heater off the ground incase of accidents with the lining. I think there is less of an issue with the filter.

No, no problems whatsoever. Maybe you should reinforce it with a little bit of scotch tape around the part inserted into the filter base.

I'm not sure as I've only had the plug in smaller version. But there is a noticeable difference when I use the filter as oppose to not using it

I installed an inline filter just before the filler neck and zip tied it to a brace so it's easy to replace. You must replace it if it gets the least bit dirty or the gravity flow will not be adequate.

We've never tried without filter, but it should work just fine without it. Hope this helps.

My first question would be if you primed it according to the instructions that should have come with it (I think they're on the box)? If not, do so. If yes, something I've done to prolong the use of mine is to gently scrub the filters with a clean wet dish cloth. I'm assuming your filtering tap water, but if your filtering dirty water then flow can diminish quicker.

The answers you got were right on . Water pressure being a big factor. It's a great filter, you will be happy with it.

I installed a double set close to the main water supply and before my water softener. If you change the filters regularly you should have no issues.

I'm assuming that it is dependent on the volume of water that passes through the filter. I haven't actually tested it.

I use it as a whole house filter and didn't notice any pressure drop. I'm sure it will as the filter clogs, but nothing now. I only have 35 pounds and it seems the same as before.

I don't believe it will matter other than it will reduce the flow somewhat. The only thing you will need to do is attach a fitting on the output of the pump to accommodate a 1 inch tube. If you are using the tetra filter you will need to to the same thing there as well.

The system is about as low tech as it can get ant there doesn't seem to be a reason for any dramatic change. I've been using it for about 30 years and the only change is the addition of a handle. My guess is, the only difference is the 2 extra filters.

Yes, the only problem I encountered was that, depending on your filtration system it may make the back end a very snug fit.

technicaly iam not sure ,,but i guess it will make double safe filteration ,,but you should ask a technician better,,thank you

Not sure. It depends on how much 'work' the filter has to do to remove the bad parts. So far, where we live, it still is showing no change in the filter sensor.

This is a question for an engineer, which I am not. However, I am/was a U.S. Goverment certified Engineering Specialist. I suspect this filter will not reduce airflow appreciably based on the fact I have had one for two or three years. I have noticed no loss of airflow in my one story home with full basement.
