Great price and fast delivery
I have a Rheem tankless water heater and the filter has to be cleaned every month. By buying this extra filter, I simply remove the current filter and put the clean one in. Turn everything back on, and I'm done. Then I clean the other filter, and it's ready for the next month.

Fits the Rheem/ Rudd Tankless HWH
Purchased with a Neutralizer to get free shipping which more than paid for the filter.

I won't hesitate to us this business again.
I found out just minutes after I ordered a part that it wasn't needed so as soon as it came I started the return process and with in a week my money was returned. I am so happy with the way Supply House conducts it's business.

I have tobuy this product again and again
Part works great unless your pipes freeze then the ice strips the threads. Poor design by Rheem but Supply House had it quickly so that was a benefit.
