You have received the correct filter. They have upgraded the housing. The JG fittings are now sonically welded to the housing.

Hi! I can't open the link you provided. But I can tell you that I specifically asked Krups for a permanent filter for this model and I got a reply from them saying they NEVER made one for this particular model. Possibly a different one might fit.

No, that particular filter housing is too small. The FXHTC is a larger whole house filter.

Actually, that is what I thought, too. But, it seems the screw was STUCK inside the first filter I had, and I had to basically destroy the original filter to remove it. It fits perfectly into this filter and comes out easily for future replacements.

I haven't been able to find a gold-tone filter that fits. I tried #4 and #2 and neither fit. I'm using paper filters. Let me know if you get a positive answer please.

I used to use the FQSLF filters when I couldn't find the FQSVF locally, and they were interchangeable as far as fit. But the last set of FQSLF I bought (on Amazon) did not fit because the center hole was noticeably smaller in diameter.

If you imagine filter as the shape of a "D" in the middle of the straight line there should be a small tab. It is the same blue material in the filter. Pull the tab and the filter should come out easily. If the tab isn't there for some reason just pull the filter up.

I recently purchased this filter housing to replace a very old one, and am using the same 10 x 2 1/2" filter I had with the old one. The perspective of the photo does not properly reflect the height to width. I had to buy several pipe reducers to use with my 1/4" under-cabinet system, and found I had to use a lot of teflon tape and tighten the willies out of the fittings before they stopped leaking. Otherwise, its been work great, and I hope the new filter housing wrench works well when it comes time.

I don't think they are compatible. You may want to look it up on the web, because the pictures of these two filters don't match.

The lines aren't compatible. I wouldn't suggest trying to adapt it over either. The biggest issue I foresee is the resulting pressure after filtration. It's not anywhere near the pressure coming from the standard faucet. Don't recommend.

Have to return mine as well. There is "Standard housing" and "Dive housing" (with little screws in the front)This filter doesn't fit Standard housing

Hello Ms. R., I cannot answer your question. The only suggestion I may make is to type in your model number and allow Amazon to determined which filter is correct. That process is what I did.

This is a great filter! However, I wanted it to be connected to it's own dedicated water dispenser faucet. The faucet I got off amazon had a 1/4" male thread end (compression thread) and the filter has a 3/8" male end (also compression thread). To make this connection you will need two parts available on amazon. You will need two Watts brand products: Watts LFA154 Female Compression x OD Adapter 1/4-Inch x 3/8-Inch (Fine Thread) Watts LFPBCC12-44 Ice Maker Supply Line, 12-Inch Took me forever to find these fittings to make it work, but I wanted to save somebody else the time and hassle.
