Wish i could give 4.5 starts, the unit is well made, seems like heavy plastic, the bracket is solid. The clear housing makes filter and sediment inspection a breeze.Shipping was fast, and unit arrived with no issues. All the parts were in the box and the price was better than i could get at other places.
Other units I have seen have a by-pass valve, my neighbor has one and the down side if it flushes sediment into the house pipes. The upside is it makes it easy to relieve the pressure on the unit for filter removal. I have not had to replace the filter as if yet, so cant comment on how easy it will to relieve the pressure (which the only way you can remove the casing to get to the filter).
The one negative I have on the unit unit is the NTP threading. For my installation I needed these to be 90 degrees, and did not want to have to buy a nipple+elbow, so i bought the NTP-90. Well, getting a tight AND keeping the right exit angle is difficult. Seems to me the unit threads are a tad large making it difficult to seat the pipe fittings COMPLETELY and avoiding a leak; even with 3 layers of pipe tape...
Other than that its a GREAT buy.
