Orbit 10109W Mist Calcium Inhibitor Filter

I recently bought one filter (Orbit 10109W for Mist Calcium inhibitor) and I am exceptionally pleased with the outcome. I had to have work done on my pool and had to refill it with approximately 10,000 gallons. I found (Tucson water high in Calcium load) that the filter did exactly what I had hoped for. The calcium load was already reduced by my Pelican filtration system from 600ppm to 200ppm and it also lowered the TDS from 1800ppm to 600ppm which is also great.Because of this dramatic change for the better I added the same filter to my secondary ice maker (Uline) which should decrease the cleaning from every 6 months to 12 months. In addition, since I need to clean the external pool 4 cartridige tank at least 3 to 4 times a year using the old system but now will add another filter to the standard hose system to also decrease any additional Calcium being added when refilling the external pool cartridge tank. This may seem to be over indulgent but at this price it ultimately makes my life better since I have less concern of calcium issues with the management of the entire pool.Great product. I learned about this filter by exploring Amazon. Deelivery was fast and the placement of the filter for the outside hose was very simple. For the house secondary ice maker I had to get a buch of parts to adapt to a my valve and with help from Ace hardware I spent about $70 to adapt this filter into my inline water system for the ice maker. Easy to do and based on water usage for the ice maker I will not need to change this filter more than once a year.

I have bought these orbit filters a few times over the years. They do a great job keeping my misters free of debris and calcium buildup. They have lasted more then a year a times just depends on your water quality in your area. But they are cheap enough not to break the bank to replace them yearly. The hose threads are a prefect fit. You can use these on any thing from swamp coolers to gradens drip systems or misters, endless options.

The label disintegrates when wet. Outerwise, a great filter.

I bought a misting system at the local feed store to cool my carport on hot days when I'm giving private obedience lessons, but we have really hard water in our community, and i knew the misters would clog with mineral deposits very quickly without a filter. This one was inexpensive and seems to be working well. The misting system has been a game-changer, as I no longer have to schedule my private lessons around the weather forecast.

I've always struggled with my mister nozzles clogging after a week. So I decided to give this a try and it definetly did the trick. Misters are on daily all day for my chicken coop to stay cool...and they haven't clogged up yet. Definetly a game changer for a mister for sure

I was draining and refilling my pool to reduce calcium hardness , my tap water is 180 ppm CH after the filter the calcium hardness from the tap was 180 ppm so it does nothing to reduce this # when filling your poolit may work for sediment and other contents but was a waste of money for me since I have a whole house sediment filter

I’ve used these for my outdoor mister system for years and it really helps in keeping those pesky nozzles from clogging up.Seeing the improvements there I installed one on my auto-fill pool line. I live in an area with high hardness and calcium levels. The minerals tend to attach to the tiles and are a real pain to remove.. these little guys do a great job at removing the calcium before it hits the pool. I change the filter about every three months. I use a union on one side so it’s about a five minute job to swap in a new one. They use a hose fitting, so you need to find an adapter to connect to the pvc pipe. Love them!

After countless tries with different filters, this one works for me.Both the female screw on connectors are standard Garden hose connections. Any other one I found online the female connector would not fit any thread I tried and leaked. I tried every garden hose connector I had and this product gave a successful watertight connection. I did have the need to get to 3/4" pipe connector. Just a trip to local hardware store to get a 3/4 garden hose to 3/4 standard pipe connector.
